Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson apologized on Friday for the vulgar tweet he sent to a fan after their loss last week to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Jackson, shortly after the team’s last-second loss to the Jaguars, sent a tweet back to a fan who had urged the Ravens to let him go after the season. He deleted the tweet, which included profane language and a phrase that some interpreted as homophobic, a few hours later.
Jackson said Friday that the tweet was the first post he read on Twitter after opening his phone after the game.
