To Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills donned a controversial Jesus jacket to the Super Bowl on Sunday, one of the best running backs in NFL history tore into security.
Adrian Peterson reprimanded Hamlin, 24, for wearing a jacket with a crucifix and modified Jesus heads while sitting next to the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell And Donna Kelce.
“You should be praising God son! This is blasphemy!” Adrian Peterson posted on social media. “We are all fallible but come on man! This offends me so much! #grateful #Goddid”
Hamlin wore the $3,150 Takashi Murakami “Travis Jesus” jacket to recognize the first responders who helped save his life when he fell on January 2.
The university-style jacket features two distorted images of Jesus, a crucifix on the back and the phrase “Without end or beginning there is no day or night.”
Adrian Peterson didn’t like the jacket, but another famous running back disagreed with the three-time rushing champion.
“You should DM him, man.
He will definitely consider what you have to say. No one is helped by posting that, “Fred Taylora former Pro Bowler, responded to Adrian Peterson’s tweet.
“He is young, and young people often don’t think about what they are wearing before they do it, just like others who wear skulls and other non-Christian symbols. Reach out to him.”
Adrian Peterson doubled his bet in response to Taylor.
“But this was unique! I know that people, young and old, sometimes don’t think. But with everything that’s happening around him! This is not one of those cases where a young man acts without thinking,” he replied in writing.
