Remove the Ray Lewis statue in front of Ravens stadium
I want the Ray Lewis statue at Ravens Stadium removed because of his refusal to stand during the National Anthem. That song honors our country and our veterans who fought for it. To kneel during it is disrespectful, regardless of what you are protesting. I will not stand for that kind of disrespect towards our country, especially from a legend such as Ray Lewis. You stand for the National Anthem as a salute to those who can't stand because they fought for this land.
What are they protesting and don't say social injustice and police brutality unless you can give me a real example. What are they Protesting???????????????
I detest this kneeling but cut Lewis some slack.He has taken unpopular stands such as Baltimore men taking personal responsibility for themselves. as he debated a whiny liberal black sport commentator on a Facebook video, a Lewis was called a "rat coon" by a black critic.
I am white and haven't heard terms like that for 40 years by even white people.
Im black and Ray Lewis is nothing but a tap dancing "knee praying" opportunist. Playing both sides. Shannon Sharp fried his goose. Yeah he should stood.
Is that what you want? NKVD coming and scooping people up under the cover of night for disagreeing? What an idiotic comment. We are not Russia. You know the flag truly only means something to those who have sacrificed for it. Those fortunate enough to have not given life, limb, and family for the flag don't cling so blindly to such an old superstition. I also disagree with what they are protesting but they are allowed to protest how they see fit. Just as you are allowed to turn off the NFL. Of course without that what other way will you escape your miserable reality? Hmm...perhaps comments on this website lmao!
I swore to defend all rights. Especially the unpopular ones that most people disagree with. Those ones need protected the most.
What does make me feel disrespected is when you drag MY service into YOUR argument and get offended on MY behalf.
Veterans are fucking tired of being brought out like dancing poodles for the GOP and conservatives of this nation to further their own selfish, backwards, and archaic ideas.
That's disrespectful to us.
We are living, breathing people with our own thoughts and ideologies.
We don't belong to your team. We don't belong to any team.
We swore to uphold the Constitution. Part of that Constitution is these players doing exactly what they are allowed to do - peacefully protest.
Showing 100% reverence to a nation or symbol of the nation is NOT patriotism, it's nationalism.
And history has shown that nationalism is a very dangerous idea.
Rite especially when its used to overlook bigger issues. All that talk about disrespecting veterans but the United States continues to lack proper care of them after they have served in wars, retired and or mentally breakdown after years of service. Honestly that to me is where the focus should be.
Unarmed black man shot for running from the police in Salt Lake City Utah. Shot in the back. At 50 years old. He was running away from them. Is the cop handicapped and incapable of pursuit? Incapable of firing a taser?
Thats tragic. Terrible action taken by the cop. But it is Not the Flags fault or Anthem fault. So why disrespecting the Flag and Anthem by kneeling? How many innocent blacks have been murdered in Chicago last weekend? Who is kneeling for them?
I see they had nothing to say about that it only when they can use a situation to continue their rise above white people cause they are so oppressed that Barack Obama, Jay z , beyonce, and so many other blacks are struggling and had no options......stfu and get a job.
F the whole NFL organization. We are all done with the charades and want to watch sports instead of political and religious pandering, which we have to put up with all week long. Past that, there's Nascar, baseball, basketball, soccer and other sports that are true athletic competition, not a bunch of trying putzheads whining about inane "Social Justice", which there is no such thing. There is "Justice", or lack thereof.
Get used to it.
STFU and play ball. Maybe we will be back when you decide to do that.

Speaking of "cutting" didn't Ray Ray do some cutting in Atlanta? That's right, he MURDERED 2 people.
STFU!! Ray Lewis doesn't deserve to breathe another ounce of oxygen and neither do you!!!
The media cherry picks story's to make it appear cops pick on black people. That's where we are in this country we have a media that creates it's own stpry's and they don't care who is hurt.

That's a big part of the problem. Why was he running away?? It's a big game to "people of color" so many think they can commit a crime and get away with it. If I was in charge crime would not pay. I am not saying he should of been shot, but why do so many people choose the life of crime?
If they are removing confederate statues, then they can take that p.o.s. down. And to think they had security protecting it.
ReplyDeleteWhat are they protesting and don't say social injustice and police brutality unless you can give me a real example. What are they Protesting???????????????
ReplyDeleteSo you’re saying that there hasn’t been any acts of police brutality or social injustices for people of color ?
DeleteYep just against individuals everything is not about your skin it's not that important bro so stop it

And that's enough to have a statue in his honor??.

DeleteWhy are these players so against our vets?
ReplyDeleteLiterally none of these players said that they were against vets.
DeleteAs a vet, I don't feel "disrespected".

ReplyDeleteCut a MURDERER slack? Oh hell NO and go wash your mouth out with soap for even thinking that. Bet you hadn't heard that phrase for years either.

ReplyDeleteForget it, Jake. It's Harm City!
"So you’re saying that there hasn’t been any acts of police brutality or social injustices for people of color ?"
ReplyDeleteAre you suggesting that whites don't have similar experiences? Why is your concern limited to 'people of color'?
And what, exactly, is a 'social injustice'?
Hahahaha good luck
ReplyDeleteWow, who's the snowflake now?
