Washington receiver Terrelle Pryor, Sr., said he was called the n-word by fans multiple times in the Chiefs’ 29-20 win on Monday.
Pryor was caught on video flipping off a fan after the game and had to be restrained walking through the tunnel.
On Wednesday, Pryor took to Instagram to defend himself, saying fans had provoked him the entire game with inflammatory language.
“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 2nd quarter on is the exact reason why guys are kneeling during anthem.
