Internet fame comes with a price. Baltimore Ravens fan John “Jack” Callis learned that the hard way — he’s no longer employed after a viral video showed him punching a Washington Commanders fan after Sunday’s NFL game.
The host Ravens won it 30-23.
Internet sleuths quickly identified Callis as the man in the video and contacted his employer.
The video, which several accounts have posted, shows a man in a Lamar Jackson jersey bouncing around a sidewalk in Baltimore’s Federal Hill neighborhood.
He sees two people in burgundy and gold and kicks one of them before landing a right hook on his jaw, knocking him to the ground.
The Ravens supporter swung at the other Commanders fan before pushing him into a wall and walking away.
“I don’t lose,” he exclaims. The recording ends shortly afterward.
Social media users later identified the Ravens fan as Callis, a Maryland resident who worked for the Maury Donnelly & Parr insurance firm.
“MDP has a zero-tolerance policy for violence and aggressive behavior,” the company posted Monday on X. “This individual is no longer employed with our firm.”
The Baltimore Police Department said in a statement on Monday that detectives were investigating the assault but hadn’t received official reports or calls from the victims.
