Geno Smith apologizes for obscene gesture directed at fans

Raiders quarterback Geno Smith has issued an apology for making an obscene gesture towards fans following the team's 24-10 loss to the Browns at Allegiant Stadium. Videos on social media captured Smith giving a one-fingered salute as he exited the field. Smith expressed regret, stating he acted out of frustration and pledged to maintain a higher standard in the future. The incident follows a previous altercation in Seattle where Smith responded to a fan's sign with a similar gesture. Unlike the preseason incident, the Raiders organization has not supported Smith's actions and expressed disappointment, emphasizing their regard for fans. The Raiders are currently struggling, with the loss to the Browns marking their fifth consecutive defeat, bringing their record to 2-9. Smith's performance this season includes 2,367 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, 13 interceptions, and 41 sacks.
