Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall posts racist letter he received

Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall posted a disturbing letter he says he received at work on his Instagram Friday.

The letter sarcastically says that Marshall is a great football player, and goes on to call him a variety of racial slurs, and refer to him in other racist and hateful ways.

The letter concludes, saying, “We are ‘channeling’ a devastating hard hit for you!! Something to make you an invalid in a wheelchair!!”

Marshall received a great amount of attention earlier this season when he decided to take a knee during the national anthem in support of Colin Kaepernick. Just over a month ago, Marshall said that he would start standing for the national anthem again.

“Going forward, I will be standing for the national anthem — not because everything is perfect, or because I’m changing my stance on things,” Marshall said. “But because of my hope for what we can become.”
