ESPN host Domonique Foxworth claimed he’s happy when NFL quarterback Josh Allen fails because his fans are “people with American flags.”
Foxworth, a former NFL cornerback, said he’s “biased” against Allen, who plays for the Buffalo Bills, because he dislikes Allen’s fan base.
“It’s based on the people that are defending Josh Allen. I would be 100% lying if I said that when Josh does something dumb, a little part of me doesn’t get happy. … It’s because the people who are telling me that Josh is the ‘Second Coming,’ and Josh is better than everybody, are people with American flags and dogs and skull and crossbones,” he said.

Other users pointed out how condescending Foxworth’s comments were.
Damn this has to be the most fucked up sports take I’ve ever heard. Is he insinuating that all bills fans are racist, or am I reading into this wrong?

When do people who are sick of hearing elites badmouth your beliefs stand up ? When is it enough? How do people get to say such crazy things and no longer suffer street justice or retaliation? Let’s no let them get away with it anymore. Enough is enough.
