The Denver Broncos defensive Kareem Jackson was ejected from their week 7 game against the Green Bay Packers after delivering an illegal hit. Jackson lowered his shoulder to deliver a brutal hit on the Packers tight end Luke Musgrave in the fourth quarter of the game. After the ejection, Kareem exposed some hate messages he got from football fans on social media.

In one of two messages Kareem posted, a man, apparently named Phillip, wrote, “Stop behaving like a f***ing n** ?.” The Broncos defensive back posted the screenshot of the message and exposed him to the world.

I wanna make sure you get the attention you're looking for. I want your friends and family to know what type of racist person you really are over a game. I'll repost all this week so it doesn't go unnoticed. Don't worry, IG tough guy.

In a letter sent to Jackson by the league, the NFL‘s VP of football operations Jon Runyan explained the Broncos’ defensive had enough time and space to operate within the rules of the league, yet he chose not to.

Furthermore, Runyan also noted that this wasn’t Jackson’s first offense as he has been fined several times for illegal hits. In fact, this was the second game Jackson has been ejected for an illegal hit in this season alone.

Kareem Jackson has appealed the suspension, but as it stands now, the Broncos DB is set to miss Denver’s next 4 games against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Buffalo Bills, the Minnesota Vikings, and the Cleveland Browns. Besides, he will forfeit $558,889 in his salary if the suspension stands.
