Vikings release statement against racist remarks towards Alexander Mattison

The Minnesota Vikings had a rough game against the Philadelphia Eagles where they ended up losing 34-28. After the game, fans were very upset and ended up sending hateful messages to Alexander Mattison on Instagram.

We will not share the messages that Mattison shared on his social media, but there were death threats and racial slurs directed toward him. Both of those are completely unacceptable and inexcusable.

The Vikings organization ended up releasing a statement on the matter, condemning those individuals and standing firmly behind Mattison.

At anytime, comments based in hatred and racism are never acceptable and should be condemned by anyone and everyone.
