Ray Lewis Disappointed with Ray Rice!
When it comes to Ray Rice elevator video, Baltimore Ravens, veteran linebacker Ray Lewis disappointed with the RB Ray Rice, he treated like a little brother.
On Monday night Lewis had some strong words for his former protege as he weighed in from the set of ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown in Detroit.
Lewis explained:
“I’m disappointed. This is personal for me.”
“So I’m torn because this is a young man I really took up under my wing and tried to mentor to make sure he had a successful career and stayed away from things like this. Seeing this video, let me be very clear with going through this personally, a man should never, ever put his hands on a woman. Bottom line. We can speculate about a lot of things but what we need to make sure is very clear is what we saw on this video is him putting his hands on a woman and that’s where it’s personal for me.”
Rice Lewis clarified how the latest circumstances affected him explaining that he had witnessed his mother suffer domestic violence in their household when he was growing up.
Lewis explained:
“That was one of the greatest things that drove me in my life, which was to make sure a man never touched my mom again. I witnessed that and there were times I went through beatings with her.”
“To go through that and know what that feels like, that a woman is lesser than you and can’t fight back. If that’s my sister or daughter, then we have another issue. So for me, it stings. It stings because he’s a friend and I’ve always tried to take this young man and give him something different. Teach him something different and educate him while he was going on in this process.”
He goes on to say:
“There is no comparison. This is nothing about me, personally, me speaking with the owner of the Ravens today, Steve Biscotti, just moments ago.”
“And just listening to the reason why Ray Rice will never play for the Ravens again, he put his daughter — he put anybody that’s connected to him that’s a female — he put them in that position. When you do that you have to take a step back.”
“One thing Steve made very clear, there is no comparison of me and Ray Rice. It’s night and day. It’s night and day of anything we’ve ever been through and that’s why both situations are totally different.”
