Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson stirred quite a reaction on social media after sharing a post from Charlie Kirk on Sunday. He reposted Kirk’s statement, “It’s all about yes,” which didn’t sit well with some, particularly because Kirk is often criticized by the left for his support of former President Donald Trump and for his role with Turning Point USA. Interestingly, Jackson has shared similar Christian-themed messages in the past without triggering such outrage.
It’s all about Jesus.

Usually, Jackson shares biblical verses and faith-related content without facing much backlash. However, this time, the criticism focused not just on the message itself, but rather on its origin. The response was quite polarized: some users condemned the post in hostility, while others argued that the uproar stemmed more from who said it than the actual words.

One user pointed out that maybe Jackson didn’t truly grasp what he was reposting, noting, “He looked at the caption and reposted it.” Another remarked that it wasn’t just about the message; it was more about Kirk’s reputation, saying, “That’s not a message. It really sparks that Charlie Kirk.”
In fact, some went further, labeling Kirk as racist and creating a scene around Jackson’s association with him. One critic bluntly stated, “Kirk is totally racist,” while another added, “I’m very deaf,” possibly indicating disbelief at the backlash Jackson was receiving.
“Lamar Jackson is retweeting Charlie Kirk here,” noted another user. Others chimed in with sentiments like, “I hope he continues to choke in the playoffs.”
Since then, Jackson has shared several other Christian-focused posts, but the contentious retweet from Kirk remains easy to find for those looking to criticize him.
