Protests within the NFL have taken a nasty racist turn over the past several weeks, after Seahawks player Michael Bennett started a sick new trend where black players are now rendering black power salutes anytime they sack a white player on the field. The NFL has an even bigger scandal brewing however, after white Raiders quarterback Derek Carr had his back broken over the weekend during a tackle, where some sports commentators are speculating that Carr’s all-black offensive line refused to block for him a savage punishment to Carr for choosing to stand for the national anthem while they all sat before the game. As Carr’s season-ending injury looks to be the result of a disgusting act of racism on the football field, nothing could prepare fans for the sick thing that a Kansas City Chiefs player did just 24 hours after the Las Vegas massacre as a literal ‘F YOU’ to anyone upset about these racist protests. Monday night’s football game between the Chiefs and and Redskins was overshadowed by the horrifying massacre that took place just 24 hours prior, after a deranged gunman opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, killing 59 and injuring 527 others. Many players decided to put aside their political differences in order to honor the dead, as many previous protesting athletes decided to stand for the national anthem in order to show unity for Americans during their time of grief.
But Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters wasn’t going to let the massacre of 59 Americans interfere with his protests, and callously chose to sit on his butt while the national anthem played, igniting fury across the stadium. While Peters’ actions were enough to make most NFL fans swear off watching a Chiefs’ game forever, nothing could prepare the crowd for what Peters would do later in the game, as the cocky player would later be caught screaming something absolutely profane to the outraged fans in the bleachers.
