Raiders quarterback apologized for an obscene gesture he directed at fans after Sunday’s 24-10 loss to the Browns at Allegiant Stadium.
Videos circulated on social media after the game showing Smith sending a low-key, one-fingered message as he left the field.
“I would like to apologize to the fans [and] Raider Nation,” Smith said Wednesday, via Ryan McFadden of ESPN. “I made a poor judgment out of frustration. And that’s not an excuse. I’ve got to be better than that and hold myself to a higher standard. In that moment, I didn’t. I’m sincerely apologetic and very sorry for doing that.
“I just want to make it known that those things will never happen from me again.”
Smith had a double-barreled message for a Seahawks fan who held up a sign comparing him to former Raiders quarter
