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.

The people calling strangers the n-word? Yes, they deserved to be flipped off.
Well, honestly....kneeling for the national anthem IS ignorant and silly. I’d be calling you names too, but why the hell would I be at a NFL game anyways?
No way to know if he is telling the truth. Probably an excuse for bad behavior.
Does this rectal vent even listen to rappers talk?
“Well, honestly....kneeling for the national anthem IS ignorant and silly”
Be honest will ya? Them kneeling is calling the rest of America the N word.
[[Terrelle Pryor: ‘You keep calling us the N-word, we going to start acting up’,]]
That’s what happens when you keep falsely calling white people racists- eventually they act up as they get sick of being labeled a racist when they aren’t- you folks are turning non racists into racists by constantly falsely Accusing them of being racist-
Was he listening to rap during the game?
If fans are doing that, it is obviously wrong. But this player is still not understanding that when at work wearing the uniform of one’s employer, one is not free to flip off the customers even when provoked. A pro athlete should understand that every crowd contains a number of morons and not react to them.
Now that's funny.
Some big 'ol tough NFL football player - "had" to have an NFL "employee" stand by him the whole game... or what? Someone calls him names?

“The people calling strangers the n-word?”
When that “stranger” is a public sports figure who publicly insults Americans and whites, yes, he deserves any and all insults.
Who’s calling them the N Word? I haven’t heard it.
did this really happen or is it like the dems after they passed Zer0care?
Who calls who the “n word”? black rappers.
I think he is lying. They have hollered racism for so long and that conditioning has worked. that I highly doubt white people call black people n*&^%r anymore. especially in public in front of large groups. If anyone was to holler N!$$*r in public it would be a black person. These days, with camera phones and social media, a white person would be fired within a day of daring to use such a term. Kind of like a Dimmi.
Sheese NM you did even cover the blacks killed by abortion in those stats.
When others make you angry, they own you!
“He who angers you conquers you.”
When you let someone make you angry, you’re letting them take control over you. You’re giving them absolute power over you. You become like Pavlov’s dog. They know what to say to make you angry, and can do it on demand.
Have you ever seen a successful person angry? It is very rare. It is extremely difficult to become successful if you go around letting others control and manipulate you, which is what happens when you let them make you angry.
Anger causes the brain to stop functioning normally. Your brain becomes focused on the anger, nothing else matters to you, except to get back at the person who made you angry.
Want to know how to stop letting people manipulate and control you? Don’t get angry. If you can’t help yourself, if anger is part of your life, go see a therapist. Go to an anger management session. Do whatever you have to in order to manage your anger.
When you get angry, you let others have the advantage over you. Even if you beat them to a bloody pulp, their wounds will heal, but you may end up losing your job, in jail or with a very expensive lawsuit. In the end, they will come out ahead. The satisfaction of physically assaulting them goes away very quickly when they smile at you the next time you see them, knowing they were the reason you were fired or went to jail.
If you’re in an office environment and get angry, that’s even worse. It means the end of your chances for advancement. Some people looking to get ahead will do anything to eliminate their competition. If you are their competition, and they know they can make you angry, they will chose a moment when senior managers are watching to make you angry.
Rather than get angry, get smart. Use their strategy against them. Count to ten if you have to, but rather than responding with an angry remark, wait, calm down, then respond with a well thought out response.
Never, ever, write a letter, memo, email, facebook update or tweet when you’re angry. Wait until you’re calm, and then write it. When done writing, don’t send it right away. Wait a little longer, then go back and read it. In the end, you may find the need to send it will go away, or that the message needs to be toned down a little more.
When you can control your anger, you regain full control over yourself. Respond to anger with kindness and you’ll gain the upper hand over someone else.
If you want to succeed in life, manage your anger. If the part of your brain which controls anger and reasoning is missing, all is not lost. Take up fighting.
