Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass has deleted his social media accounts after he apparently received online threats following his missed game-tying field goal in Sunday's divisional playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
The bullying has prompted a nonprofit cat adoption group, Ten Lives Club, to raise money on behalf of Bass.
In a statement on Facebook, the group called Bass a “friend” who took time to help it and rescue cats last year.
"WE STAND WITH TYLER BASS. DON’T BULLY OUR FRIEND We just heard the terrible news that Tyler Bass is receiving threats after yesterday’s game and our phones are ringing off the hook from people who want to donate $22 to Ten Lives Club in Tyler’s name," Ten Lives Club said.
The group added: "Tyler doesn’t deserve any of the hate he’s receiving. He’s an excellent football player and an even better person who took the time to help our organization and rescue cats last year. Leave our friend alone."
