As of Tuesday morning, Lamar Jackson still planned to hold his annual “Funday with LJ” event amid a hotbed of COVID-19 cases in South Florida.
Those plans changed by Tuesday afternoon.
The Baltimore Ravens quarterback and reigning NFL MVP canceled the event after backlash over public health concerns. A spokesperson for the event confirmed the cancellation to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
Go-karts and flag football
The event billed as a play day for children promised go-kart racing, a rock climbing wall, 7-on-7 flag football, water slides, an obstacle course, a game truck and a food truck.
