Former NFL player and current analyst\u00a0Ryan Clark<\/a>\u00a0sparked controversy on social media after he wore a Bill Belichick mask on the CW\u2019s “Inside The NFL” Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Clark wore the costume during a segment that included the former\u00a0New England Patriots<\/a>\u00a0coach, who dressed in a suit to resemble Clark.<\/p>\n

Belichick embraced Clark’s costume and even praised him for it during the segment.<\/p>\n

But independent\u00a0NFL content<\/a>\u00a0creator Dov Kleiman called the decision “wild” and questioned how it was approved to be nationally televised on the CW.<\/p>\n

“Wild: Ryan Clark dressed up as Bill Belichick for Halloween. How did this get approved?” Kleiman wrote in a\u00a0post on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n
