says he went too far by reposting an anti-police statement to his social media pages ... and now, he's apologizing for it -- saying,"I know there are good cops '12' out there."
If you missed it, somebody edited Morant's Memphis Grizzlies jersey so it spelled out"F**k 12" ... and Ja reshared it on Instagram with the caption,"nah fr tho."But, Ja's endorsements of the image -- which came after reports claimed the NBA is considering allowing players to replace their jersey names with messages in their return to action next month -- was met with immediate backlash.
"My post was intended to focus on the bad cops who get away with the murder of unarmed Black men and women, and those who continue to harass peaceful BLACK LIVES MATTER protestors." Ja continued,"I know there are good cops '12' out there. I know some, and a few are family. I am thankful to the cops at Murray State who took care of me, and the cops who continue to watch over me with the Grizzlies."In the apology, Morant went on to call for justice for, and added,"There have been too many Black lives taken by police that could have been prevented."
"You may see me as just a basketball player and I may lose fans for taking a stand, but I won't stay silent."
Well like to know when someone says something they believel in and suddenly they feel that they have to come up with a B/S apology because someone told that wasn't right to do
Good cops don't exist. They are not allowed to. Anyone who becomes and remains a cop is complicit because they can only remain by turning a blind eye to the wrongdoing. There are no, as in ZERO, good police.
Really don’t think he needs to apologize really !!!! I’m sure it was inthe heat of the moment..
I just don’t know why people have to say I’m sorry so much when they say something people don’t agree with we became the softest country in the world wtf happen to us...
Sorry not enough! Lose your job like every one else has.
Cub
I don't. Fuck the cops.
lol just man up Ja
Blue lives matter
Lost little boy. What is the 'Ja' short for? Can't they say his full name?
He isn’t sorry and that’s okay! Cause right now is too many of them staying silent while asshole ones been acting out.
racismdoesntgettowin
All you keyboard MF’ers will be like this when those fireworks are blowing up over your head this Saturday.

Nah don't apologize, just amend it. Fuck bad cops. There ya go. JaMorant

Sacramento Kings TV Announcer Grant Napear FIRED Over 'All Lives Matter' Tweet In addition, Bonneville International, which owns the Sacramento radio station were Napear had co-hosted a sports show, announced that it had FIRED him there also. So now Ja Morant needs to be fired
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
“F*ck cops”. Until he needs a cop. Real nice
If you gonna act bad at least man up n stick with it hahaha
a movement with zero leadership
Cancel him.
If only good cops existed🤦
Hey NBA It’s time to cancelJaMorant we need our players to do better. They are role models and we need to hold them to a higher standard. This has no place in society.
His words may be harsh but it to be expected from a black man in America. Cops use far harsher language and literally murder black men. I think the apology should come from the cops who create the hostility and negativity!
Strike 3, YOURE out dude, big mouth, minion slave to BLM who are terrorists and subversives
Uh oh! The cAnCeL CuLtUrE, “free speech=platform” warriors willl be furious. Lol jk they’re hypocrites who love consequences for people who disagree with them.
F them
NBA Star? LOL.
JaMorant no need to apologize. Fuck 12
Fuck 12 stand by ya words

Well based on Sterling Brown’s run in with the Milwaukee police..🤷🏾♀️..we need non-racist cops! not kkk member cops! simple proper training on being a fucking human and not abusing a badge! I won’t stop saying FUCK the police..no one says fuck the paramedics or firefighters 😅
Only apologized so he wouldn’t get suspended
I mean he ain’t wrong tho
No apology necessary. Ja Morant should be fired from his NBA team just like everyone else has been fired because of something they said !!! MilitaryVetsLivesMatter
All cops are inherently rowdy, but all men are born good boys.
I don’t speak ‘Ja’ so no harm to me.
Trash
Total ignorance
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 “do what your told”

F the NBA. Is there a dumber, more illiterate bunch than the athletes in the NBA?
Don’t apologize fuck the police BlackLivesMattters fuckthepolice
Yet, all the folks here hating on cops......isn't that who you're asking for justice from? 🤔
Queue all the butt hurt Trump supporters!
What’s wrong with what he said. We have some really bad cops. We do need to weed them out to have good cops.
What he apologizing for?...
He is literally 20 years old Why would anyone value what he has to say
His parents should apologize for naming him Ja LMAO
Terminate him immediately
It's ok, I'll do it in his place. Fuck the cops.
F*€k all the bad racist cops is more of what he was saying
He should be removed from the league. Like everyone else that speaks or makes a mistake is fired in the real world!
Why? Everyone always says that 99% of cops are good. We have zero evidence if this cuz nobody collects data on police misconduct. He shouldn't have to apologize for something that is just put out there as a fact. The police are public servants critcism is part of the job.
Not good enough
I’m trying to figure out what good things police actually to do for black people because it sho ain’t protection 🤔
'I am thankful to the cops at Murray State who took care of me, and the cops who continue to watch over me with the Grizzlies.'? Ha,ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let them play games without police escorts and presence there. He will rethink that decision quickly lol.
Why apologize, he said nothing wrong!
Yup he needs that sponsorship money lol
No he’s right. Fuck cops
Fuck NBA players. We need good NBA players.
Nah he good. Fuck 12
Who?
Don’t apologize boo. You said what you said.
Looser! Entire NBA is done... Police should not protect their games. Allow thugs rule the court
