Baltimore Ravens star Lamar Jackson deletes vile homophobic tweet to NFL fan after abuse

Baltimore Ravens star Lamar Jackson tweeted and deleted a vulgar slur aimed at an NFL fan after Sunday's defeat. The Ravens were beaten by the Jacksonville Jaguars in a dramatic game on Sunday night, with fans left fuming.

Jackson is in the middle of a contract stand-off with the Ravens, having reportedly rejected a deal worth $250million (£207m) due to wanting more guaranteed money. The former NFL MVP is set to become a free agent at the end of the season, but supporters are starting to lose patience.

One fan tweeted Jackson after the game and took aim at the ongoing uncertainty over his future, claiming the quarterback shouldn't have allowed the game to go down to a last-minute 67-yard field goal attempt.
