BALTIMORE — Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson said Friday that he “wasn’t thinking about actions” when he wrote a “bitter” reply to a fan on Twitter after Sunday’s loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Jackson later deleted the viral tweet, which told a fan questioning his value to “STFU” — “shut the [expletive] up” — and included a vulgar insult. He said Friday that he hadn’t reached out to the fan but that he apologized “if I hurt feelings out there.”
“I was mad,” said Jackson, who was coming off a last-minute 28-27 loss in Jacksonville in which the Ravens gave up another late lead. “I was mad after the game, and when I got onto social media, that was the first thing I saw. And I’d just busted my behind — my whole team did, coaches did, and that’s what I saw. And I just reacted to it. My bad. My bad.”
