Lamar Jackson Apologizes For Vulgar Tweet, 'I Was Bitter'

Lamar Jackson says he’s sorry for sending a vulgar tweet following the Ravens’ emotional 28-27 loss to the Jaguars last Sunday … admitting on Friday he was just “bitter” about the L.

“I apologize if I hurt feelings out there,” Jackson said when addressing reporters for the first time since pressing send on the tweet.

Jackson initially fired off the obscene response minutes after Baltimore’s defeat … after a Twitter user said the Ravens should not sign the QB to a lengthy — and lucrative — new contract.

“Boy STFU y’all be cappin too much on this app mf never smelt a football field,” he said … before ending the tweet with, “never did s*** but eat a d***.”

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said he spoke to Jackson over it all on Monday … and called it “out of character for him.”

Jackson said he deleted the tweet, which remained on his page for about 3 hours, after his girlfriend encouraged him to take it down.

She “was like, I think you should delete it,” LJ said. “I’m like, ‘All right ’cause I don’t know if I hurt somebody’s feelings,’ so I did. That’s just what it was. That’s why I deleted it.”

Jackson said he hasn’t reached out to the fan since the incident, but explained there’s no bad blood between him and the individual.

“What I take from this experience … don’t say nothing on Twitter,” Jackson said. “Don’t say what I said ’cause it’s kids watching. Don’t need the kids saying that but just watch what you say.”
