Washington Redskins receiver Terrelle Pryor apologized Wednesday for cursing at and giving the middle finger to a Kansas City Chiefs fan following the teams’ game earlier this week. But he also said his behavior was a response to being called the N-word in that instance and several others that night.
“Being called [the N-word] several times to the point where an NFL employee had to step to me and stand by me the whole game from the 2nd quarter on is the exact reason why guys are kneeling during anthem,” Pryor wrote in an Instagram Story post. “I choose not to kneel because as a team we decided to be the one and stand … but as I walked in tunnel hearing some one call me [the N-word] and say F you to me..me flicking the person off is more deserving.

Hey, they already call you Redskins. /ducks/runs
That's why the story doesn't ring true. The fan would've been removed if this whiner really felt threatened by a word.
Keep calling the president and his supporters white supremacists and they might start acting up..
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
Damn, I have been called the “n” word a lot in my life - Nitwit
Prima Donna player having a bad day takes out his frustration and 'roid rage on a fan.
The NFL employee is there to keep the player in check - shut him up so no more fans are abused by him.
The N-word story was concocted later.
Is that so? You believe this demented little freak? Ever listen to the way blacks talk to each other?
I believe this was shown to be fake.
NO way he was called the N word. The stadiums are littered with sensitive snowflakes that would give their right whatever to text security and turn someone in for spilling their pop let alone screaming the N word. Didn’t happen.
Likely didn’t happen. It’s just an excuse to justify his behavior. Kinda like Andre Carson and the TEA party protestors.
Twisting in the wind. Withering away a slow death. So long NFL.
Yes, IMO that is so. I consider flipping someone off a pretty mild rebuke. Why would I not believe him? If it did not happen, then the flipping off did not happen either so it is a moot point. Yes, I have, context is everything.
Maybe you are right, but if it did, I do not think he ‘deserved’ it - that is my point.
Those stats are incorrect. A large majority of white murder victims are killed by other whites.
I doubt they’re true even for San Francisco only. SF would have lots of Asians and Latinos in the mix also.

You’re not going to get the numbers in your graph.
Was this name-calling happening a lot BEFORE the kneeling sickness? If not, seems to me this overpaid clown is confusing cause and effect.
Yes terrelle, we'll notify the rap community and your teammates to stop calling you that right away. We don't want the gay 'act up' brigade sashaying into this too.
Those who should be highly offended by the word tend to use it freely.
If someone called him that, he’s justified.
With the recent epidemic of hate-crime hoaxes, let’s just say I have my doubt...
