Lamar Jackson Has Choice Words for Reporter Amid Twitter Controversy

After Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson deleted a tweet with a vulgar message in response to a fan following his team’s 28–27 road loss to the Jaguars, the Baltimore star is now calling out a reporter for wording he used in his article about the incident.

“@jamisonhensley This is Defamation of my character, Because not once have I mentioned or disrespect anyone’s Sexuality, sexual orientation, gender, Religion or Race. Your reaching,” Jackson said in a tweet.

Jackson, whose contract is set to expire after this season, struggled to find the end zone Sunday in a game that Baltimore almost won via a 67-yard Justin Tucker field goal attempt in the closing seconds.
