Family is off limits. I hate a lot of people, but a lot of those people have family members I love. All I'm saying is just because people share a name doesn't mean that they share opinions and/or characteristics as the others. I ride with all my family no matter what, but I don't get them involved in my affairs. He is protecting his family, I respect that.

Drew and his family where getting death threats a few months ago.
Some people are cowards.

If you can’t separate sports from reality maybe you should step back from sports.

They're all tough behind a keyboard, but none of them would do a single thing face to face. Welcome to 2020.

They're a big bad person on the internet.

They're a big bad person on the internet.

Athletes receiving death threats on a regular basis is unfortunately very common and started long before the internet.

At least now the internet makes these people easier to track instead of some random untraceable letter in the old days. Some student sent the cyber version to Malcolm Jenkins while in Philly, and was tracked down and kicked out of school. So that's a good thing.

Sometimes, people are just stupid. This is one of them.

Unfortunately, it is the world we live in today. I hope, as a society, we can get back to less division driven by the extremes and become more civil. It is just depressing and sad.

That's why I wouldn't acknowledge I saw the threats. Stop highlighting them as unusual and giving them separate attention. You can let the authorities know as needed, but I wouldn't give them a spotlight otherwise.
