Rodgers, who shared screenshots of the messages, revealed they contained racial slurs and other offensive content. In a powerful response on X, he wrote, “Racism is real. Keep football, football. That’s not even the worst I’ve seen. Stay solid or stay silent. ‘Fans.’ Fake applause, no support or faithful and never switching. Pick a side and stay on it!” His words underscored the harsh reality of racial abuse that athletes too often endure, while calling out the hypocrisy of so-called fans.

The Vikings issued a statement on Monday, expressing their outrage: “We are disgusted by the racial slurs directed at Isaiah Rodgers following yesterday’s game. As we have said previously, there simply is no room for racist words or actions in sports or society. We support Isaiah and all players who, unfortunately, experience this type of ignorant and prejudicial behavior far too often, and we ask our fans to continue to fight to eliminate racism.”

Rodgers, who previously played for the Eagles during their Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, joined the Vikings in the offseason. This season, he has made an impact on the field, recording 21 tackles, one interception, a touchdown, and two pass breakups in six games. Yet, his performance was overshadowed by the disturbing messages he received post-game.

The incident highlights the ongoing challenge of combating racism in sports, with Rodgers’ experience serving as a stark reminder of the work still needed to create an inclusive environment. The Vikings’ unequivocal condemnation and Rodgers’ resilience in the face of hate send a clear message: racism has no place in football or beyond.
