It’s no secret that former LSU wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is a fan of end-zone celebrations. One thing he doesn’t like, though?
Water.
Yes, you read that right. The All-Pro wide receiver, who ironically requires sideline IVs during some games to prevent cramping, doesn’t like water.
“I really don’t like water.”
Odell Beckham, Jr. is literally ME (in this one instance.)

After the odd comment, Beckham Jr. gave a simple reason for his disliking water: slushiness.
“I really don’t like water,” said. “I’m trying, I really just don’t like it, when you get that stomach feeling, it’s all slushy … Sometimes I just gotta get an IV.”
Beckham reportedly left a practice because of cramps in 2017, and he made an early trip to the locker room in 2016 against the Eagles.
While funny, cramping can be a serious matter in football. So, despite his feelings toward fluids, it’s likely that Beckham won’t avoid them anytime soon if he wants to stay healthy.
