EAGAN, Minnesota: Alexander Mattison and the Minnesota Vikings had boarded the flight home after a tough loss earlier this season when the fifth-year running back found dozens of hateful and racist messages directed toward him on social media.

Criticism for the fumble he lost or his lack of rushing yards in the game? Fine. That comes with the job. But the trolling that night was so egregious that Mattison, after conferring with a trusted friend and fellow Black teammate, decided to push back and share some screenshots.
