Rodgers calls out racist fans - ESPN link

quote:

EAGAN, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings cornerback Isaiah Rodgers has received "some of the most racist comments" he has seen since entering the NFL, Rodgers posted Monday on X in the wake of a 28-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

A screenshot Rodgers posted on Instagram showed multiple messages that included the N-word. In another, a social media user wrote: "ur worse than Hitler." In a separate screenshot, the same individual later apologized.

Rodgers was the Vikings' primary defender on two big plays that sparked the Eagles, including a 79-yard touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith in the third quarter and a 45-yard completion to A.J. Brown in the fourth quarter that sealed the game. He took full responsibility after the game, saying that "I put it on me" and adding: "I came here for a reason, and those type of plays I know I can make. So, I put it on me."

In a post on X, Rodgers wrote that "Racism is real."


Can Tim Walz quell the racism within Minnesota?

He should spend more time learning how to not lose football games and less time crying on the internet.

Is he new to X or the internet in general? The comment sections of massive places like X, Instagram, certain sub Reddit, etc tend to be filled with massive quantities of hateful and troll comments. That’s just how they’ve always been. Paying attention to them is pointless

I thought comparisons to Hitler have long jumped the shark, but this...

Was it a hard R or was it a black dude? Spelling matters you know.

Boo hoo. People are emotional on-line, if you can't handle it stay off it.

Minneapolis in 2025 is pretty much Mogadishu.

Wait, a progressive heathen from MN said that? No way. Those are the most level headed people in the world. They would never!

Tim Waltz needs to do something about the race and hatred that goes on in his very blue state. Just five years ago they were burning the place down after a saint passed away, and now this.

Why are the people of MN so racist?

I don’t really get worked up over nasty social media messages. Every public person gets them. That’s the nature of the internet. Every type of loser and degenerate has a platform.

Especially in sports, where opposing fans can get very emotional and say anything they can to get under your skin, even if they don’t mean it.

He gets called that in the locker room every day by his teammates and it doesn't cause him to cry.
