You won’t believe why De’Veon Smith was cut by the USFL Pittsburgh Maulers

Who wouldn’t want pizza over chicken salad? Can anyone blame De’Veon Smith formerly of the USFL Pittsburgh Maulers for wanting a slice?

Well, the slice led to Smith being cut by Kirby Wilson, head coach of the USFL team in the Steel City.

Smith requested pizza from a hotel worker instead of the chicken salad that was being served to him. The hotel worker told him he couldn’t and asked if that would be a problem. Smith claims that he said “yes” and walked away.

Hard to believe but check it out:

“He crossed the line, so we had to deal with it,” Wilson said in the clip. “Any disrespect of football or members of staff, USFL, etc. will not be tolerated.”

This is the perfect opportunity for Pizza Hut, Domino’s, or Papa John’s to sign up Smith as a spokesperson.

Not sure if this is chicken salad or chicken something else.
