Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison shared horrible, insensitive messages he was sent by supposed fans after the team’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, 34-28, on "Thursday Night Football."

Mattison, who did not have the best of performances in the game, took screenshots of direct messages he received on Instagram, where disturbing racist remarks were made. The direct messages also encouraged Mattison to kill himself. 

Mattison, 25, said that he received more than 60 messages with similar language.

"This is not OK, y’all," Mattison wrote over the message. 

"Y’all can come at me all you want about fantasy [football], ‘You suck,’ blah blah blah. I really could care less. But this s--- is unacceptable," Mattison said. "SMFH I hope the 60+ people who decided to come at me with disgustingly disrespectful messages tonight in DM’s and comments, really reflect on wtf you say and how it could truly affect someone.

The Vikings and Mattison’s agent did not immediately answer a request for comment to Fox News Digital regarding this matter.
