“The racist and violent words addressed to me and my son are just another reminder that our nation is marked by hateful rhetoric,” said Walker in his post,”the hateful words only reinforce me in my efforts to visit different sections of the population, to listen to different opinions and to honour the men and women who risk their lives for this country every day, so that we can make a difference.

During the national anthem, both the Tennessee Titans and Seattle Seahawks remained in the cabin.The Titans themselves then announced that they had received death threats on their social media sites.
