STORY HIGHLIGHTS <\/p>\n
(CNN) -- Benjamin Watson, a tight end for the New Orleans Saints, came home Monday night after a tough loss to the Baltimore Ravens. <\/p>\n
It was late and surely he was worn out. <\/p>\n
He turned on the television and saw everything that was going on in Ferguson, Missouri, in the wake of the grand jury decision. <\/p>\n
As he fixated at the screen, his heart hurt for the people there. <\/p>\n
The next day, he started to deal with his emotions -- and there were many. Watson, in his 11th NFL season, likes to write down his feelings, so throughout the day he jotted them on his iPhone. <\/p>\n
While sitting in a Target parking lot as his wife shopped, Watson went back and put the notes together into an emotional Facebook post. <\/p>\n
One you've probably heard about. And possibly read. <\/p>\n
That post has 427,000 shares and more than 760,000 likes. There were 78,000 comments at last look. <\/p>\n
In 611 words, Watson writes he is angry, frustrated, fearful, embarrassed, sad, sympathetic, offended, confused, introspective, hopeless, hopeful and encouraged. <\/p>\n
