“This is absolutely unacceptable. It’s not ok for someone to ask for a new contract??” asked another user. “C’mon now. This is the NFL. If you don’t like what he’s doing then stop watching football.”

“Deebo Samuel very much does care because he made this post,” pointed out another fan. “But it’s very scary how deranged some fans get when it comes to their team. Death threats are never a rational way to express aggravation to a player.”

“If you as a fan, are sending death threats and racist messages to an athlete based on their contract situation you need to re-evaluate every decision you made in your life that got you to that point,” another tweeted. “Holy crap. They are people too.”
