Joe Burrow Is Saddened By His 'Privacy' Being Violated This Week

Joe Burrow's Monday Night Football heroics were marred by a burglary at his Cincinnati home, prompting the family and neighbors to call 9-1-1.

While Burrow was completing 75-percent of his passes for 369 yards and several touchdowns including the game-winner to Ja'Marr Chase with just a minute to play, someone (or someones) broke into his bedroom by destroying one of his windows and proceeded to ransack the room. The incident has clearly left Burrow unhappy as he didn't want to talk to reporters about the incident on Wednesday. Though he did make it clear that he feels that his privacy has been violated "in more ways than one" this week.

"I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one," Burrow said, via Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer.

As some fans in the comments noted, Burrow was likely referring to reporters repeatedly asking him about the incident in spite of him asking not to comment on it.

"He said that he didn’t want to say more about it and then you continue to ask about it…" one user pointed out.

"did you hear the part when he said that’s all he had to say about it or are you deaf?" wrote another.

"So why keep asking him questions and putting all his business out there. like you can’t play both sides. either you protect his privacy or you exploit it. This was really disrespectful on your part!" a third declared.

Ethics of prying into personal matters like this aside, the incident is just the latest in a string of burglaries that have taken place at the homes of well-known NFL players in recent months. Kansas City Chiefs superstars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were both victimized by burglars during this NFL season.

Sadly this has been a trend that's gone on for a while. 

Soccer megastar Cristiano Ronaldo has had his homes robbed multiple times through his incredible career - at least three times since 2020 alone based on a simple Google search.

Inter Miami star and World Cup winner Lionel Messi has seen his home in Argentina robbed and a house in Ibiza vandalized by climate activists, all in the span of the last 13 months.
