A Denver Broncos player was treated to racist abuse following his team’s victory against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
Kareem Jackson has revealed some of the horrible messages he’s received since his involvement in Denver’s second win of the season. The 35-year-old safety was ejected for the second time this term following a nasty hit on Packers tight end Luke Musgrave and fans were understandably peeved, though some of them really crossed the line.

Jackson was suspended for four games on Monday, having gotten flagged three times for high hits on opposing players, and also getting ejected twice.
NFL vice president of football operations Jon Runyan has addressed Jackson personally along with his suspension.
“On the play in question, you delivered a forceful blow to the head/neck area of a defenseless receiver, when you had the time and space to avoid such contact,” Runyan wrote in a statement. “You could have made contact with your opponent within the rules, yet you chose not to.”
