People can sometimes be objectively awful. This is in regard to all areas of life, but a solid recent example of this is when Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin received an awful letter from what appears to be an truly awful person.
Thursday night, Sumlin’s wife Charlene took to Twitter to share a letter that her husband had received in the wake of the UCLA fallout. It is a handwritten note with slurs filling the page and an ominous“or else” if the coach doesn’t “get lost.”

The issue here is that it is 2017. You know, a time when things like this are no longer supposed to happen. Of course, only the most naive believe this to be the exception to the times rather than a far too common practice.
Texas A&M released a statement shortly after the note went public. It, rightfully, condemns it and backs Kevin Sumlin.
“Earlier this evening, we became aware of a letter of unknown origin that was sent to the Sumlin family home. We unequivocally condemn this disgusting and threatening letter. There is no excuse for hatred and, as a community, we will not allow the ignorance of some to intimidate any member of our community. On behalf of all Aggies, our thoughts are with Coach Sumlin and his family, and we will do all that we can to ensure their safety. We are working with law enforcement authorities to bring the sender of this letter to justice. We stand with the Sumlins and will not accept this inexcusable act of hate.”
The return address might be bogus, for what it is worth. If no one is able to track that loser down, here is to hoping that person faces karma sooner rather than later.
