Minneapolis, MN – October 20, 2025

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Isaiah Rodgers has shared screenshots of the vile racial abuse he received online following the team’s 28–22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

Rodgers, who previously played for Philadelphia, was targeted by a fan after being beaten by DeVonta Smith on a 79-yard touchdown catch from Jalen Hurts, one of the pivotal plays that helped the Eagles secure the win and drop Minnesota to 3–3.

The 27-year-old defender posted the disturbing messages to his Instagram story, choosing not to reveal the identity of the sender. The messages included racial slurs, personal attacks, and even a shocking comparison — the fan calling Rodgers “worse than Hitler.”

“Good fing s f*** face,” one message began. “U f***ing suck… u just gave the Eagles the win.”

The sender continued with multiple slurs, labeling Rodgers a “fing n**,” a “worthless piece of s***,” and “a waste of air.”

Rodgers quickly responded, posting a screenshot of the conversation with the caption “Keep that same energy.” He also replied directly to the abuser with: 

“F* you!!!”

Moments later, Rodgers accused the individual of deleting the hateful messages — and soon after, the fan reached out again, this time with an apology:

“I know what I did was wrong... I should never have done that,” the user wrote.

Rodgers, who began his career with the Indianapolis Colts before joining the Eagles, won Super Bowl LIX in Philadelphia before signing a two-year, $11 million deal with Minnesota. He’s since recorded 21 tackles and two forced fumbles this season, becoming a key contributor in the Vikings’ secondary.

The incident has drawn widespread condemnation from fans and analysts, many calling for stronger league action against racist harassment targeting NFL players.

Eagles Cheerleader Sues an Eagles Player for Harassment by Flirting with Her While Already Married
Can you believe it? A charming, dynamic cheerleader from the Philadelphia Eagles is "exploding" and dragging a team player to court for "unforgivable" behaviors! Abigale Licciardi – the star of the Eagles Cheer Squad – has officially filed a lawsuit, and the drama behind it is stirring up NFL fans! Could this be the "biggest scandal" in Eagles history? Read now to discover the "scorching" details! Abigale Licciardi, a professional cheerleader for the American football team Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL, is a prominent member of the Eagles Cheer Squad group. She is a former student at the University of Pennsylvania, where she participated in the local cheer squad and dance activities. Before that, Abigale was a dancer for NBA events and holds a bachelor's degree in communications from Temple University. Abigale is active on social media, often sharing about games at Lincoln Financial Field, community activities, and her role as a brand ambassador for the Eagles. As part of the Eagles Cheer Squad team consisting of about 47 members (combining male and female), Abigale participates in fan interactions, charity events like "Dream On 3," and performances at Eagles games. She has an Instagram account (@abigalelicciardi) with posts about cheer life and a TikTok (@abigale_eagles) where she shares videos about game days and dance routines. Before joining the Eagles, she worked at a local event company, proving her versatility and passion. But the "nightmare" struck when Abigale got "entangled" with an Eagles player! That's Mike Thornton, a backup defensive end who rarely plays for the Eagles – a guy who's practically "anonymous" to fans, only playing sporadically on special teams and never a pillar. Thornton, 29 years old, has been married since 2021 to his wife, a community nurse, and they have two young children (one boy and one girl). Yet, according to Abigale's lawsuit, Thornton has been "flirting" with her recklessly, despite his happy family life! The "explosion" happened when Thornton started sending "sweet" messages to Abigale via Instagram, praising her smile and energy after performances. At first, Abigale thought it was just friendly praise from a teammate, but things quickly "crossed the line" into harassment! Thornton called her in the middle of the night – sometimes at 1-2 a.m. – to "share" about playing pressures, invite her for private dinners, and even send "suggestive" videos filmed at the gym! Abigale stated in the lawsuit: "He knows I only focus on my career and the team, but he won't stop. Those midnight calls make me anxious and stressed, severely affecting my performance!" According to insider sources, Thornton has been "stalking" Abigale since preseason, frequently "lingering" at community events she attends, and intentionally "creating situations" to approach her. Thornton's wife, upon learning, went "crazy" and threatened to break up, but the guy remains "blind"! The Eagles are "shaken" by this scandal: The team management has temporarily isolated Thornton for investigation, while fans are divided – one side defends Abigale's "brave accusation," the other suspects it's a "staged script." The NFL league is also intervening, which could lead to heavy fines or removal from the roster! Abigale, with her "queen" image on TikTok and Instagram, is now becoming a "victim" of harassment – a thorny issue in the sports world! How will the court punish Thornton? And will the Eagles "clean up" the team to protect their cheerleaders? Don't miss out – follow now for the next "drama" update! What do you think about this case, comment below!
