Morgan did not respond to any of the messages and is not taking the threats seriously.

“You’re not supposed to respond,” he said. “You’re supposed to respond with your actions. And that’s what I’m going to do.” He added: “The only thing I take seriously is football and my family. Nothing really scares me. I’m from D.C.”
