49ers Suspend Radio Analyst for Comments About Lamar Jackson's 'Dark Skin'

The San Francisco 49ers have suspended radio analyst Tim Ryan for one game for comments made a comment about Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson’s “dark skin color” on air Monday.

After Jackson extended his MVP-caliber season in the Ravens’s Week 13 victory over the 49ers, Ryan attempted to break down the QB’s performance in his weekly segment on KNBR’s “Murph and Mac.”

“He’s really good at that fake, Lamar Jackson, but when you consider his dark skin color with a dark football with a dark uniform, you could not see that thing,” Ryan said on Monday.
