Earlier this month, Steelers star running back Le’Veon Bellinjured his knee. He will miss the remainder of the 2015-16 NFL season as a result of it. And for whatever reason, there are actually some people out there who are happy—yes, happy—about a guy sustaining such a major injury. They’ve taken to Twitter to tweet about it.

Last night, Bell decided to respond to a couple of those people. He started things off by sending this:

it wasn't my ACL sir...but I hope your day brightens up...no1 should b that upset RT @xRetnuhHD: Fuck Le'veon Bell i'm glad u tore your ACL

But then, he decided to try and find the worst possible tweet that had been sent out about his injury. He found it in the form of a tweet that featured a Twitter user directing the N-word at him. And he responded to the guy who sent it by killing him with kindness:

God bless youu too sir ☺️ RT @MVSwaggyP2: I'm so glad Le'Veon Bell tore his ACL. Fucking cotton picking nigger

If Bell needed any extra motivation to come back from his torn MCL, it looks like he may have found it. What the hell is wrong with people?
