Denver Broncos defensive back Kareem Jackson posted screenshots of racist slurs he received on Instagram.
The NFL player did this by directly identifying the accounts of the non-judgmental individuals who called him out in this very bad way on Sunday, after a 19-17 victory over the Green Bay Packers.

“I wanted to make sure you get the attention you’re looking for. I want your friends and family to see the racist person you really are,” Jackson wrote.
“Here’s another badass on Instagram,” he added in a subsequent post. This is what we have to face because we are athletes. Angry supporters hiding behind social media, because they know it wouldn’t go over well if they did it face to face.”

Jackson was ejected from the game against the Packers for illegally tackling tight end Lucas Stone in the head.
The 35-year-old veteran is not the first NFL player to publicly decry the unacceptable behavior of certain fans on Instagram. Earlier this season, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Alexander Mattison said he had received more than 60 hate messages from fans, including some containing the “n-word.”
