Baltimore Ravens superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson wants head coach John Harbaugh to know that he’s truly sorry. But that doesn’t mean that he’s going to change his mind.
Jackson joked (we think?) with reporters on Monday about skipping the Ravens’ halftime speech in order to go watch Beyonce perform at halftime of their Christmas Day game against the Houston Texans.
Let it me known that Lamar Jackson WILL be watching Beyonce at halftime on Christmas Day.

Lamar Jackson Says He’s Skipping Halftime In Order To Go Watch Beyonce Perform
“(Is it) a little disappointing that she’s gonna be performing in a halftime show that you can’t watch,” a member of the media asked Jackson on Monday.
“Nah, ’cause I’m gonna go out there and watch,” he said. “First time seeing Beyonce perform and it’s at our game?! That’s dope! I’m gonna go out there watch, sorry Harbaugh, sorry. Sorry fellas.”
When asked if it would depend on how big the lead was, if they have one, he shook his head and said, “I’m not even thinking about the lead, I’m just thinking about just seeing Beyonce for the first time.”
Look. As the kids would tell you, Beyonce has aura. If Beyonce is playing at halftime of your NFL football on Christmas Day, what are you gonna do? Not go watch Beyonce? That’s ridiculous.
But the Baltimore Ravens only just clawed their way back into a very important tie for first place in the AFC North with win a over the rival Pittsburgh Steelers. At this point in the season, it’s gotta be all eyes on the prize. Even if that means skipping a Beyonce concert that is just a short walk away from you in the locker room.
Sorry Lamar, we think Coach Harbaugh is probably gonna win out on this one. But we’ll be sure to get you to a Beyonce concert in the offseason.
