Even after becoming a Super Bowl champion, Russell Wilson faced racism in his everyday life.
"And I said, 'Excuse me?' I thought he was joking at first," Wilson recounted."My back was kind of turned. I had just come off a Super Bowl and everything else, so if somebody is talking to me that way, you think about [a different] circumstance and how people talk to you."
Thinking back to those childhood moments, Wilson said he remembered what his father used to tell him about deescalating confrontations.If you are using ad-blocking software, please disable it and reload the page."In the midst of that, what I understood was, and [what] my dad always taught me was, to not lash back out in that moment because then it becomes something that's hard to deal with," Wilson said.
"The reality is that me as a black person, people are getting murdered on the street, people are getting shot down, and the understanding that it's not like that for every other race," he noted."I think about my stepson, I think about my daughter, I think about our new baby boy on the way, and it's staggering to watch these things happen right in front of our faces, so I have a heavy heart right now.
