Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson had one of the funniest reactions after Draymond Green set the sports world ablaze when he punched Jusuf Nurkic during the Golden State Warriors-Phoenix Suns game on Tuesday.
Around the eight-minute mark of the game, Green and Nurkic were battling for position as the Warriors inbound the ball. Things were getting physical, but to the surprise of many, Green suddenly turned around and swung his right arm directly to the face of the Suns center.
It knocked Nurkic down and Green was quickly thrown for Flagrant-2 foul–which warrants an automatic ejection.

As the whole sports world talked about Green, with many urging the NBA to punish and suspend him, Jackson couldn’t help but react as well.
Jackson himself is currently in a four-game suspension by the NFL after his Week 11 hit on Minnesota Vikings quarterback Josh Dobbs. He has already served three games and is due to return after Week 15. With that said, he found it funny that as he nears his return, there’s a high chance that Green is the next high-profile player to get suspended.
The Broncos safety compared it to getting called in the principal’s office.
“Damn I’m almost out the principals office and look like Draymond could be going back in,” Jackson wrote along with facepalm and laughing emojis.
Both Kareem Jackson and Draymond Green have developed a reputation for being dirty players, and while they certainly don’t like it, it’s just hard to ignore with their actions.
Kareem Jackson Suspensions with the Denver Broncos This 2023
Much like Draymond Green, Kareem Jackson has been suspended a couple of times this 2023 season. In fact, he was coming off his suspension in Week 11 when he hit Dobbs, leading to another punishment.
That first incident happened in Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers after Jackson did an illegal hit Packers tight end Luke Musgrave. He was initially slapped with a four-game suspension before an appeal reduced it to two games.
Sure enough, hopes are high that Jackson won’t do a Draymond Green and follow him in the principal’s office when he return back to the gridiron.
