Lamar Jackson has become an influential speaker this offseason! The Baltimore Ravens quarterback Jackson is an idol for youth these days. And why shouldn’t he be? The 27-year-old continues to inspire people, with his game plays and down-to-earth quality, on and off-the-gridiron.

For instance, in February, the NFL’s current MVP launched a book “I Dream, You Dream, Let Us Dream!” for children, encouraging them to dream big. Staying on the same track, he shared a powerful message for social media users recently.

Lamar Jackson showed support for rapper Rod Wave?

It’s visible that how social media has now become a stage to show anger or hatred to anyone. Who can agree on it more than the sports players and celebrities? For instance, just a couple of days ago, Travis Kelce got life-threatening messages on the internet. The situation is surely getting alarming.

Similar issues have affected the Ravens quarterback, Lamar Jackson, as well. Therefore, a day ago, he shared a social message for the younger generations on his Instagram story. He reshared a post from the Instagram handle “954fastpitchtv,” which showed Rod Wave’s comments: “seen it wit own eyes. crash it. burn it” on another post that stated, “social media destroyed our generation.”

Agreeing with this, Jackson shared multiple disadvantages of social media. He wrote, “Imaginary Lives. Competition. Hate. Killings. Creating more Corruption. I don’t see jits outside playing ball no more cause they out here rather having opps.” Additionally, the quarterback highlighted some benefits of social media, saying that it “Should be networking. Showing your view of the world. Motivation to the next.” He added, “These days motivation create hate weird shi*zzz.”

There is no doubt that social media usage has reached the point where people are hating each other or even harming themselves. Even NFL players and several other athletes from different sports have faced hatred and criticism now and then. Lamar Jackson once shared a cryptic message for the social media trolls after getting frustrated.

Lamar Jackson responded to online haters!

In March 2023, when Lamar Jackson didn’t break his massive contract, and the Ravens were still thinking of franchise tagging him as a free agent, some social media users believed the team would keep him at a very low price. He even faced criticism and multiple backlashes from NFL fans about his contract dispute. Expressing his frustration, Jackson took to social media and shared a photo of a man with dirt on his face.

He wrote a cryptic caption, “Every time I get on social media” with a face with spiral eyes emoji. Jackson wanted a fully guaranteed contract at the time, but the Ravens were reluctant to meet his demands, leading to a stalemate. Online communities were divided on the issue. Some thought the Ravens’ offer was fair and Jackson was greedy, while some believed he deserved what he asked for.

However, Jackson earned what he wanted, thanks to his mom who served as an agent for him. And with that money and responsibility, the ‘marvelous’ Lamar Jackson earned the MVP, even leading his team into the playoffs this past season.
