Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker, who helped lead his team to a 24-20 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday's NFC West showdown, shared racist Instagram messages a fan of the opposing team directed at him.
The fan called Baker a "monkey" and "slave," as well as the N-word, in multiple messages (warning: contains racist language and profanity).
"All you can do is pray for ppl like this," Baker wrote.
The language and racism would be horrific at any time and stands out as the fight against systemic racism and police brutality has taken center stage in the sports world of late.
