Avast, me hearties! Behold, the Viking's swashbuckler Alexander Mattison hath shared screenshots of a fearsome nature. These ill-mannered scallywags sendin' messages of racism and dark encouragements of suicide, all 'cause they lost to the Eagles. Blimey, what a sorry lot of scurvy dogs!
In a recent incident, Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison shared disturbing messages he received from supposed fans after the team's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. These messages contained racist remarks and even encouraged Mattison to harm himself. The 25-year-old player took screenshots of these messages, highlighting the unacceptable language used. He expressed his disappointment and called on the senders to reflect on the impact of their words. Mattison revealed that he received over 60 similar messages on Instagram.Mattison emphasized the importance of recognizing the human side of professional athletes and condemned the disrespectful behavior he experienced. The Vikings and Mattison's agent have not yet responded to requests for comment on the matter.
Although Mattison has recently taken over as the team's primary running back after Dalvin Cook's departure, he has struggled to make a significant impact in his first two games as a starter. Against the Eagles, he gained only 28 yards on eight carries and even fumbled the ball. Despite this, the Vikings have shown confidence in Mattison and believe he can handle the majority of the carries in the running back position.
In the previous season, Mattison recorded his career-high of five touchdowns as Cook's backup. With the team currently sitting at a record of 0-2, they will look to secure their first win in the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
