Larry Fitzgerald’s father is not happy, and it has nothing to do with his son’s team losing in the NFC wild-card round.
Fitzgerald Sr., a sports journalist in Minnesota, tweeted Thursday morning that he was the victim of racial profiling by the police. The father of the All-Pro wide receiver said he was driving when a cop “just pulled me over for the hell of it.”
