Jake Fromm on racist text messages: “That’s not who I am”

In June, text messages surfaced from Jake Fromm to an acquaintance that contained several hot button issues. Guns and gun control, racist labeling, and elitist thinking were smashed together in a story that could have ended his career before it began. On Friday, he spoke to the media for the first time since the messages went public and continued seeking forgiveness.

“That’s not where my heart is,” said Fromm. “The one thing that I want to do here on this earth is love God and love people, and I fell short of that. I want to make amends and really be better from here on out so that I can earn their trust and really bring something to this football team.
