Lamar Jackson deletes insensitive tweet after fan urged Ravens to not sign him to new contract after loss

Here is what he said:

Jackson's response was fine up until the last two words, in which Jackson sent an insult that can be interpreted as homophobic. Jim Buzinski of Outsports explained why that's the case.

"Jackson was insulting and degrading this fan by calling him an 'mf' who wasn't man enough to play football and saying all he does is 'eat d***.' That says Jackson thinks eating d*** is unmanly and deliberately used it as an insult, something gay men have faced, like, forever. Therefore, it's homophobic."

Jackson's tweet got more than 13,000 likes in the first hour it was up.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that he talked to Jackson about the situation, adding that he encourages players to stay off social media after games.

"I just talk to these guys, we talk a lot about football, but we also talk a little about that stuff, too, what goes on in terms of media and everything," Harbaugh said, via NFL.com. "Really just beg guys not to get into the Twitter world right after the game, especially after a loss. It's never going to be positive, it's not going to be a nice place."
