New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was seen screaming at his offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels, on the sidelines during the team's 23-3 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

After the game, injured New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. suggested there was a double standard between how Brady was analyzed for those actions after the game and how OBJ might have been portrayed had he done the same:

Beckham further elaborated on how he felt he would be received if he yelled at an offensive coordinator, as opposed to Brady being viewed as being passionate, before adding that he tries to mirror Brady's intensity and love for the game when he plays:

There are plenty of layers to unpack here.

Is Brady viewed differently because he is a quarterback, a position of authority on the football field, while Beckham plays wide receiver? Is there a racial component in play as to how fans react to Brady emoting on the field as opposed to Beckham? Has Brady earned more leniency in such outbursts given that he's composed a Hall of Fame career and won five Super Bowls? Does Beckham get less leniency because he already has consistently displayed a history of outbursts in a far shorter career than Brady's?

These are all fair questions to consider when analyzing both the public perception of Brady and Beckham.

As for Brady's particular outburst on Sunday, Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald reported that "McDaniels started that sideline argument by telling Brady multiple times Gronk was 'wide open' on the incompletion to Cooks."

"It's just football," Brady added after the game, per Howe. "We've been around each other a lot. I love Josh."
