NFL Star Damar Hamlin has been slammed for wearing a ‘disrespectful’ jacket when he attended the Super Bowl on Sunday.

While it was great to see the 24-year-old after he suffered a cardiac arrest on January 2 when he suddenly collapsed on the field, many noticed that he was sporting inappropriate attire.

He was seen laughing and waving to fans who were delighted by his appearance.

Hamlin then took a seat next to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the mom of two other players Donna Kelce.

He wore a $3,150 Takashi Murakami ‘Travis Jesus’ jacket.

Former NFL star Adrian Peterson then took issue with the design which featured a crucifix with an altered head of Jesus.

Peterson then took to Instagram and wrote: “You should be thanking God son! This is Blasphemy!! We all fall short but cmon man! I find this disrespectful!! #grateful #goddid.”

Peterson explained that he spoke with Hamlin and they discussed their thoughts as men.

“I want to be clear, I’m the last person to judge anyone, and that was never my intention. However, I do feel as if the jacket was disrespectful and it was something that I needed to share,” he said.

“I do realize everyone makes mistakes and falls short at times, so again, my intention was never to judge, just to share my opinion. Damar, I have respect and love for you and I wish you nothing but the best, but I just can’t rock with that jacket.”

Peterson added: “I feel like there are a lot people, young and old, looking up to you and with power and influence comes great responsibility. I apologize for offending you, I just felt offended in that moment as a man who loves and respects our Lord and Savior, Yeshua.

“After speaking with Damar, I have an understanding that it didn’t come from a place of ill intent!”
