.@NFL: You don’t need everybody to be for you; you just need the right people to be for you. God has people in positions of influence that will open doors you couldn’t open, give you opportunity & promotion that you didn’t see coming. You won’t have to find them; they’ll find you

Owens then went on to criticize the NFL for putting Marvin Harrison, who was once accused of shooting someone and having them killed back in 2009, on the list.
1 member of the panel @judybattista danced around the question from @DeionSanders of why I wasn’t already on the list. And to #SteveLargent’s comment claiming off the field problems was the reason why, I ask what off the field problems did I have? Being outspoken isn’t a problem.

It is worth noting that no charges were ever filed against Harrison in the shooting case in 2009.
