"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."


Wow. But a prof says whites should die and it's all ok. This is inexcusable being sent to this coach, but no statement was released in re: to Curry. Unbelievable!

Glad to see Young is quick to the SJW party. Not to diminish the bull crap if this is a real letter, but he's such a butt ****er

All stamps are cancelled during envelope processing.

The barcode on the front tells you where the letter is going from a destination and sorting standpoint.

The light pink (almost invisible) bar code on the back tells you where the envelope/letter has been.

Whoever has written this letter, considering the contents, etc has committed a federal crime. This is going to get real hairy real fast. I would bet money that the Texas Rangers and the FBI (if it can be determined that the letter crossed state lines when being mailed) are going to really zero down on this.

It's all feels in that statement. Disgusting as the sentiment may be, nothing in that letter has broken a law. No DA would ever call "or else" a threat.

Since Mrs Sumlin went public with this, it would be nice if the family released a statement to also "tell the world" how well they have been treated by the fans and community.

So there should be a mark over the stamp or no?

They can decide to consider it a threat for purposes of investigation, whether or not a criminal charge is ever filed.

The words "or else" can be taken a lot of ways. Don't like this at all. Not a good rep of the school.

Is it wrong for me no not immediately conclude this was a white male/female who sent this? It is it still racist if a black/Hispanic/Asian male or female who sent this?

Asking for a friend.

Which in my opinion is absolutely ridiculous. If we had an average woman who felt she was being stalked, harassed, or threatened and came into my old PD with a single letter saying "or else" at the bottom, she would have promptly been shown the door. But because it is a high-profile coach, we're going to call in the Texas Rangers and FBI.

Also it is obviously awful and I don't like it. Just don't think you have to assume it is a white person. A&M fan or not.

I can't believe what I'm reading here. Some of you freaks blame Mrs. Sumlin for making this public? Seriously?! Put yourself in her shoes. Calm the eff down. It's an effing game.

Wow, the nerve of some posters here. No, this was NOT faked by Sumlin. Don't be ridiculous. And yes it probably was mailed by some pissed off dumbass fan. They probably were drunk at the time to do something so stupid that could be easily traced. But NO this does NOT reflect the character of 99.9% of aggies everywhere. Everyone thinks things like this are faked these days. Sometimes it's just a small percentage of dumbass people that do dumbass things. Don't get so defensive all the time. Dumbass racist people exist. Come to terms with that reality. It's obviously not a majority but they do exist. The sooner people come to terms with that the faster we can move forward. Stop turning a blind eye with conspiracy theories to make yourself feel better. Thanks and gig 'em!

I'm not a twitter-phile and dont like drawing attention to myself or my family. All I can say is that In would have called the police if I felt threatened or thrown it in the trash.

What's the difference between assuming it's a fake and assuming it's a dumbass fan?

Really? Huge difference. Some of you are implying that the Sumlins faked this. That leaves me speechless.

Yes there should be a mark over the stamp unless the processing equipment missed it which could happen.

There is no way in hell this is the first threatening and racist letter that made its way to him.

It may be real, but timing and her reaction are a little questionable. Most rational people would have ignored it. Hell, if I wanted to respond I'd have hired someone to track down the sender and then out them in public.

I'll give them the benefit of considering its real. But the obvious sympathy outcry is a little weak.

What do you think the odds are of both of these possibilities? Dude don't get so defensive. No one is attacking you and no one should be correlating this to the character of Aggies as a whole. It's one dumb idiot. Just don't try to blame the victim all the damn time.

Crime? I'm thinking a perceived threat by using the term "or else."

Speculation on my part; I'm not a law enforcement officer. I'm just commenting is all.
