Jason Whitlock found himself in trouble following his post on former New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez. As per reports, he was reportedly stabbed during a violent altercation in Indianapolis on Saturday night. Whitlock, in a post on social media, prayed for the ex-quarterback's quick recovery and health.
"Dear Heavenly Father, we are asking you to deliver healing to Mark Sanchez. We asks this in Jesus name," Whitlock tweeted.
However, fans slammed Whitlock for praying for Mark Sanchez's recovery because of his engagement in the violent altercation that ended up in his stabbing. The sports columnist posted another tweet responding to the backlash he had received:
"You busted me. I apologize for praying for Mark Sanchez to heal from his injuries. My behavior is everything wrong with America. Thank you for the rebuke. I'll do better."
As per the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, Sanchez was arguing with a delivery after midnight outside Loughmiller's Pub & Eatery. The altercation took place because the ex-quarterback had asked the 69-year-old deliveryman to move his car.
Things soon turned bad. The man later informed authorities that he tried to stop Sanchez with pepper spray but had to use physical violence as a last resort of self-defense, which ended up in his stabbing.
Sanchez later recovered and was stable at the hospital. He was arrested by the police on charges of battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle and public intoxication.
