Lamar Jackson is back where he started. For the sixth consecutive year, the two-time MVP hosted his yearly “FunDay with LJ” in Florida, where he had another great return. Many fans, especially the younger ones, were unhappy because the concert sold out quickly. But Jackson isn’t having it.
A disgruntled fan can be seen in a recent video that went viral online commenting on Ravens‘s Jackson’s remark about the event being sold out. It’s plausible that Jackson’s team was controlling attendance given his enormous popularity.
Jackson, though, is deeply aware of the significance of this occasion for both the children and himself.

He then responded to this remark by saying that he didn’t give a damn about ticket limits and that everyone was welcome to bring their children regardless. As he wrote,
“I said idc about what it says. Bring them kids”

On July 13, the “Funday” was held at Ezell Hester Jr. Athletic Field by the City of Boynton Beach Recreation and Parks Department, with co-hosting status going to Jackson’s non-profit group, Forever Dreamers. There was laser tag, go-karts, a video game truck, face painting, games, bounce houses, and a DJ for the special event.
Notwithstanding, it is undeniable that Lamar is among the NFL’s most charitable and modest players, constantly contributing to the community. His recent meal donations to hungry and in need families in the Dominican Republic show how altruistic he is in the fight against hunger.
