Ray Lewis Kneels During National Anthem Just Months After Telling Colin Kaepernick About Social Activism

It seems like it was just yesterday that Ray Lewis went on Twitter to tell Colin Kaepernick to stay quiet about his social activism because the football field is their “sanctuary”.

If they really wanna help you, they’ll pray for you, brother,” Lewis says at one point. “They’ll lead you the right way and stop encouraging you to be caught up in some of this nonsense. The battles you are fighting, brother, people way before has been fighting these for many, many, many years.”

The football field is our sanctuary. If you do nothing else, young man, get back on the football field and let your play speak for itself. And what you do off the field, don’t let too many people know, because they’re gonna judge you anyway. No matter what you do. No matter if it’s good or bad.”

It seems like Lewis may be changing his tune after he choose to kneel before today’s Ravens-Jaguars game in London a few days after President Trump called for the firing of NFL players who choose to kneel during the anthem.

Maybe the Ravens will sign Colin Kaepernick now?
