Very sad to see this. Mattison is a good guy
A lot of Minnesotans are “friendly racist“. You know, the “He’s not like most black people” kinda racist.
My chosen name when I lived there was not a traditional Christian name and everyone always told me they thought I was black because my partner was a bigger lady and the name “sounded African”.
A lot of the older folks thought Rick Astley was black because of his voice.
Just really weird living there.
That's a lot of Wisconsin too which sucks.
Being alienated from family is not a great feeling.

Did you see him before hearing him? His vocal style is most similar to Black singers of the era before him, so it's not racist to assume he's black. If they only listened to him because he was white, then that's racist.
There’s never any reason for racist remarks, but even past that, playing bad in a game of football is never a reason to want to say things to hurt someone. If you get that upset about it that you want to hurt a player on your own team because of a disappointing performance, you should reexamine your relationship with the game and consider taking a step back for your own mental health.
I'm surprised anyone would be racist against black people while still being fans of the NFL. Like do they just listen on the radio?
Nah they just treat them like objects rather than humans because they’re nonsense
It's their entertainment, like Romans watching gladiators die in the coloseum. They don't care about them at all. My dad's a old racist boomer who is so mad anytime they change the rules so players get less brain damage.
I bet they're upset about how rich the players are. Then the only "justice" they get is that the game is dangerous. I can't think of anything more pathetic.
This reminds me of Boston Bruins fans harassing black NHL’ers
Wait. Racism in Boston?
The racism was so over the top.
