Look: Ravens tweet, then delete photo of Queen Elizabeth II with face paint
The Baltimore Ravens learned a valuable lesson in the laws of social media Tuesday.
When you tweet something out, people will screenshot it and keep it forever.

Just under a week from traveling to Wembley Stadium to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Ravens apparently thought it would be tasteful to share a Photoshopped picture of Queen Elizabeth II sporting Ravens face paint.
The photo was promptly deleted, but thanks to the quick actions of ESPN's Bill Barnwell, this photo has now been saved for all eternity in the archives of regrettable Twitter decisions.
Barnwell couldn't resist holding the Ravens accountable for the questionable choice of tweet, and even decided to take things one step further.
