LOOK: Kevin Sumlin’s wife shares appalling hate mail sent to the Texas A&M coach

It has been a tough week for Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin.
And that may be an understatement considering what surfaced Thursday evening.
The pressure on Sumlin seems to be increasing, and the “hot seat” seems to be getting hotter. When the Aggies blew a 44-10 lead last Sunday to UCLA and managed to lose the game, fans began calling for Sumlin to be fired.
Calling for a coach to be fired is one thing, but some “fan” took it to the next level by sending a racially-fueled threat to Sumlin in the form of a letter, which was possibly first opened by one of Sumlin’s children.
Sumlin’s wife, Charlene, posted the image on Twitter Thursday.
Please note that the image in the tweet features notably offensive language, so discretion is advised.
People of 2017: please tell me how any part of this is ok. And to the sender: did it occur to you that a child may open it?#orelseWHAT? pic.twitter.com/Co1s2Hb94r
