Brandon Marshall shares incredibly racist letter he received from fan
Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall on Friday decided to give fans a glimpse into some of the incredibly cruel letters professional athletes get from fans.
Marshall shared a photo on his Instagram account that showed a hand-written letter he received. The content of the later is so vulgar we’d prefer not to post it here, but here’s the caption Marshall included with it:
“The hatred by some against people of color is one of the reasons we are where we’re at in the world today, and they wonder why we feel the way we do and take the stances that we take. I received this letter at work.”
Sadly, pro athletes get messages like that all the time. They usually try to avoid giving the sender attention by sharing them, but you can understand why Marshall was upset enough to pass this one along.
We saw a similar example of that kind of hatred when fans sent the Atlanta Braves letters about Hank Aaron a couple years back. There are just some horrible people in the world.
