Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Monday that quarterback Lamar Jackson’s postgame tweet Sunday in which he lashed out at a fan was “so out of character for him” and a reminder of the perils of social media.
About an hour after the Ravens’ 28-27 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Jackson, a pending free agent, responded to a fan who’d tagged him in a tweet saying the Ravens should not commit to him financially. Jackson told the fan to “STFU” — “shut the [expletive] up” — and ended his comment with a vulgar insult. Before the message was deleted hours later, it had been retweeted thousands of times.
Harbaugh said he spoke with Jackson on Monday morning about the exchange, a rare outburst from a typically poised team leader.
