The Giants reportedly believe Panthers players directed homophobic slurs at Odell Beckham Jr.
Odell Beckham Jr. reportedly felt threatened by members of the Carolina Panthers during warm-ups prior to Sunday's game, and a new report claims that the Giants believe members of the Panthers not only threatened Beckham physically (with baseball bats), they also shouted homophobic slurs at him.
From CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora:
Giants reviewed pregame incidents b/n Panthers players and Beckham. Are convinced he was threatened physically and called homophobic slurs

Beckham was suspended for a helmet-to-helmet cheap shot on Josh Norman late in the 3rd quarter of Sunday's game.
La Canfora also reports that the Panthers have vehemently denied the Giants' claims:
Panthers officials deny strongly any threats or slurs were made and are adamant they have long used a bat as a motivating prop...
