The son of legendary wide receiver Randy Moss expressed his anger on social media regarding a post that suggested his father is facing a serious health issue. Randy Moss, a prominent figure in NFL history, disclosed on December 1 during ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown” that he is currently “battling something internal” and requested prayers from his fans and followers. Shortly thereafter, ESPN announced that Moss would be taking a break from the network due to an undisclosed medical condition.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), journalist Larry Fitzgerald Sr., father of retired NFL star Larry Fitzgerald, claimed to have heard that Moss has been diagnosed with liver cancer. This assertion led to an upset response from Moss’ son Thaddeus, who criticized Fitzgerald’s statement as “disgusting” and emphasized that private matters should not be publicly shared for attention.
Brett Favre, a Hall of Fame quarterback who played alongside Moss, also commented on the situation. In response, Thaddeus Moss reaffirmed on X that the rumors were false, stating, “This is not true. My father will address the world when he is ready.”
Randy Moss, now 47, had an illustrious 13-year NFL career and is remembered as one of the sport’s greatest wide receivers, ranking second in career receiving touchdowns with 156 and fourth in receiving yards with 15,292. Prior to his leave, he had shared a video asking followers for prayers as he faced his health challenges.
In a time when public figures often share their personal battles, it’s important to respect their privacy and allow them to reveal their stories on their terms. As fans wait for Randy Moss to share more about his health when he feels comfortable, the sports community continues to rally behind him, sending support and prayers for his recovery.
Summary: Randy Moss’s son responded to false rumors about his father’s health circulating on social media, emphasizing the importance of privacy as the NFL star battles an undisclosed illness. Fans and former teammates are showing their support during this challenging time.
