Sorry, Karen, but former Louisville QB Lamar Jackson can give his O-line whatever he wants

Show Caption Hide Caption Baltimore Ravens' Lamar Jackson is silencing critics in NFL Lamar Jackson continues to shine in the NFL and prove the doubters wrong.

Of course, her name is Karen.

While there are plenty of people named Karen who go on to live deep, meaningful lives, there is a Karen in Baltimore or the surrounding area who decided to end 2019 with a bang.

You see, Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson decided to do something very nice for the men who protect him, the Ravens offensive line. The former Louisville star bought them Rolex watches. You know, the ones that are so nice the website doesn't even list the price when you're browsing through them. This is not one of your "sort lowest to highest price" type gifts.

But Karen was not satisfied by this.

You see, according to Karen Price, whom we can safely assume sports a "let me speak to the manager" haircut, since the athletes can afford nice things, he should've donated that money to charity in their names instead of flaunting it by buying expensive gifts. Sure, that's a nice thing to do. But you have to wonder if Karen does that on behalf of her friends and coworkers.

Jackson isn't the first quarterback to gift his offensive line something expensive. He's not even the first player. Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliot got his offensive line John Deere UTVs in 2016.

Karen probably wouldn't have liked that either. And, yes, charity is good. There's no reason to think, though, that Jackson isn't giving to charity. Also for her to pass judgment without knowing his financial situation or that of the linemen isn't in the holiday spirit.

Most people would've thought it was cool that he gave those guys some expensive watches and wished they had such generous coworkers before moving on with their days. But Karen isn't most people.

Karen would much rather he gave to charity. But had he done that, would she have sent in a letter saying he shouldn't have bragged about his giving?

There's no winning with people like Karen. She says she's no longer a fan of Lamar because of this. She probably never was.

Let's start the decade right and aspire to not be like Karen.
