Broncos defensive back Kareem Jackson received a racist message following his ejection from the Packers game Sunday … and he was so angry with the comment, he called out the sender publicly.
The DM was sent to Jackson’s Instagram account just after he was booted from Denver’s 19-17 win over Green Bay for illegally hitting Luke Musgrave in the head and neck area.

The message, apparently sent from a man named Philipp, read, “Stop behaving like a f***ing n** 🤡”
Minutes later, the 35-year-old safety — who was actually ejected from the Broncos vs. Commanders game earlier this season as well — reposted the message … and was clearly fuming over its content.
“I wanna make sure you get the attention you’re looking for,” Jackson said. “I want your friends and family to know what type of racist person you really are over a game.”
“I’ll repost all this week so it doesn’t go unnoticed. Don’t worry, IG tough guy.”
Jackson later revealed he got another inappropriate message on the app … one he was also furious about.
“Another IG tough guy,” Jackson wrote after reposting the DM to his 120,000 followers. “This what we deal wit because we are athletes on a regular. Disgruntled fans that hide behind social media knowing it wouldn’t end well in person. Enjoy this fame Daniel.”
This is the second time a high-profile player has called out fans for their messages on Instagram this season … earlier this year, Vikings star Alexander Mattison said he got over 60 hate notes from fans, with some including the N-word.
