NFL World Reacts to Deebo Samuel Getting Death Threats and Racial Abuse: “NFL Fans, We Have to Be Better”

A sport is nothing without the support of the fans. The foundation of a team, league, or player is built on the love and support of the people. But there are some things and certain ways that the fans should behave as well. Recently, some fans have been sending Deebo Samuel some inappropriate messages.

This offseason has been wild already, but who knew that some fans would resort to sending death threats and racial slurs? The San Francisco 49ers receiver posted a video saying that he is not bothered by some fans sending him these kinds of messages.

Earlier this month, the star wide receiver unfollowed the San Francisco 49ers from all of his social media. The fans assumed that Deebo Samuel is on a move out of the Bay Area. And it seems like some people did not take it well.

The athlete is entering his fourth and last year of the rookie contract with the Niners. Many assumed that Samuel removed the team from his social media to make some negotiations. The receiver market has been busy this offseason. Some pretty huge deals have already taken place. So it was only natural that Samuel would ask for a handsome raise as well.

Deebo recently posted a video addressing some inappropriate DMs that he has been getting from some fans. He said, “Hey for all y’all fans that are in the DMs, death threats and racial stuff. That don’t bother me, bro.” Samuel adds, “Y’all the same ones that was just hoorah-ing and ‘Go Deebo,’ and now y’all want to send death threats and send all these racial — all this stuff you got. It don’t bother me, bro. I’m cool, I’m chilling, I’m happy.” It is good to know that Samuel is not bothered by the hate.

Some true fans stand on the right side of the fence and call out the haters. One fan asks everyone to be the gold standard of sports fans.

This unfortunate situation makes this fan sick to his stomach.

Another fan asks the 49ers’ fan base to be better. 

Jordan Schultz, analyst and host of the Pop Up Podcast, calls the haters “Fake a** fans.”

A Twitter account by the name of Evan Sowards believes that this kind of person does not deserve to be called a fan.

Being a fan, one should realize their boundaries. The athletes are humans too. Sending them death threats and racist messages is not the way to behave. Such comments do not bother Deebo Samuel, and there are people still supporting him.
