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.

 

 

Taylor Swift Donates $100,000 to Help Young Chiefs Fan Battling Stage 4 Cancer — ‘She’s Part of Our Team Too
Pop superstar Taylor Swift has once again melted hearts across the NFL world — this time with a $100,000 donation that left fans and families in tears just days before the Chiefs-Raiders Week 7 showdown. After returning to Kansas City to cheer for fiancé Travis Kelce in the Chiefs’ 30–17 win over the Lions, Swift quietly stepped back into the spotlight — not for a performance, but for an act of pure generosity.   According to the GoFundMe campaign, Swift donated $100,000 to help Lilah Smoot, a two-year-old girl battling stage 4 brain cancer, receive life-saving treatment. Along with her donation, Swift wrote: “Sending the biggest hug to my friend, Lilah! Love, Taylor.”           View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by Justin (@swiftutation) The gesture came after a viral video showed Lilah pointing to Swift dancing in her new music video for “The Life of a Showgirl” and saying, “That’s my friend.” The clip caught Swift’s attention — and she responded in the most powerful way possible.   Lilah’s mother, Caitlin Smoot, posted an emotional thank-you: “Is this real life? Thank you so so much @taylorswift. You’ve given us such a beautiful gift — now we can just focus on our baby girl and being together as a family.”     Fans flooded the comments with emotional messages, many calling Swift “the most incredible human” and praising her compassion. Even as the Chiefs prepare for their primetime clash with the Raiders at Allegiant Stadium, Swift’s kindness continues to steal headlines. Actress   Ruby Rose summed it up best: “She used to scroll GoFundMe like a social media app — clicking ‘reach their donation’ like the ‘like’ button.” For all her fame and fortune, Taylor Swift’s quiet acts of kindness remind fans why her impact goes far beyond the music charts — and why Chiefs Kingdom adores her just as much as they do No. 87.
