Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo wrote a heartfelt message on Instagram following a series of shootings at Atlanta-area massage parlors that left eight people dead.
"I am deeply saddened by the events that took place in Atlanta yesterday and although there is no definitive answer yet on what this investigation will bring, I feel now is the time to address the rise in hate crimes against ALL races over the last few years," Koo wrote. "... I realize now more than ever that this is an issue that needs to be addressed and that ignoring it won't help us do that.
