Well, it turns out that being a die-hard Ravens fan can cost you more than just the game-day ticket.
Baltimore Ravens supporter Jack Callis found this out the hard way after a video of him throwing punches at Washington Commanders fans went viral, and the price he paid? His job. That’s right—Callis is no longer employed after his post-game antics on the streets of Baltimore were broadcast across the internet faster than you can say, “Lamar Jackson.”
In the now-infamous clip, Callis, proudly rocking a Ravens jersey, decided to channel his inner prizefighter. After spotting two Commanders fans minding their own business in their team’s colors, Callis kicked things off—literally—with a swift kick before landing a solid right hook on one guy’s jaw, knocking him to the ground. Because one assault apparently wasn’t enough, he swung at the other fan and shoved him into a wall. His parting words? “I don’t lose.” Well, that claim didn’t age well, did it?
Meet Jack Callis, a guy who yesterday decided, after his team won a football game, to beat up random other teams football fans for no reason.
He’s now lost his jobs, probably girlfriend, his 2A rights, and his freedom, all because he got drunk and decided, key word decided to… https://t.co/a4Q7FkXYsA— Cop4x4 (@Cop4x4tv) October 14, 2024
Naturally, the internet did what it does best: identify, expose, and deliver consequences. Social media users quickly identified Callis as the man in the video, and before long, his employer, Maury Donnelly & Parr (MDP), got the message. By Monday, MDP released a statement on X (formerly Twitter), saying they have a “zero-tolerance policy for violence and aggressive behavior” and that Callis was no longer employed with the firm. Ouch.

As for the Baltimore Police Department, they’re still investigating the assault, but it seems they’re waiting on the victims to officially report the incident. So, while Callis might be out of a job, he’s not in the clear just yet.
As a die hard Commanders Fan this makes me sick to my stomach . Jack Callis is trash who should be banned from ever stepping foot into M&T Stadium again. @Ravens Do the right thing ban this joker for life. pic.twitter.com/2LPfE65vPt

Let this be a lesson to all the rowdy superfans out there: You might win the game, but if you lose your cool, you could lose a whole lot more. Internet fame is a double-edged sword, and for Jack Callis, it came swinging right back at him.
