Redskins receiver Pryor Sr. target of racial slurs, he says

The National Football League says it is reviewing the conduct of Washington Redskins wide receiver Terrelle Pryor Sr. and Kansas City Chiefs fans, during and after Monday night’s game at Arrowhead Stadium.

Pryor said on his Instagram Story on Wednesday he was the subject of multiple racial slurs shouted by Chiefs fans, including after the game when cellphone video captured Pryor flipping off Chiefs fans while entering the tunnel.

The video, obtained by TMZ Sports, shows Pryor being restrained while walking through the tunnel following the 29-20 loss to the Chiefs. It shows Pryor flipping off fans in the section near the tunnel and yelling profanities. Pryor stretched out his arm, as if he would fling his helmet in that direction, but walked to the locker-room.

“We are looking into all aspects of the matter,” a league spokesman said Thursday morning.

“I’m going to refer all calls to the league’s office,” Redskins Senior Vice President of Communications Tony Wyllie said.

On Instagram Wednesday evening, Pryor posted: “Being called a [N-word] several times to the point where an NFL employee had to step to me and stand by me the whole game from second quarter on is the exact reason why guys are kneeling during anthem. I choose not to kneel because as a team we decided to be one and stand, but as I walked in tunnel hearing someone call me a [N-word] and say F you to me. Me flicking the person off is more deserving. I do apologize to my teammates and the organization. But at some point you keep calling us the N-word, we going to start acting up.”

Redskins players all chose not to kneel during the anthem after seven did so the previous week following President Donald Trump’s comments about NFL players.
