Ravens to Build Statue of Ray Lewis
According to owner Steve Bisciotti, The Ravens will construct a statue of Ray Lewis outside M&T Bank Stadium. This seems....wrong.
"I think he set himself apart in Baltimre sports history...and I will not be surprised if there is one there in the next year or two."

"Fuck Ray Lewis".

Surprisingly reasonable discussion for most.
Lewis is what he is; a great football player who is a hypocrite of sorts off the field. He's like most people, then, and that's fine. But I thought it was weird when Jordan received a statue, and Coamerica still looks a little weird with the characters in the outfield. I mean, Ty Cobb was a great baseball player but also a virulent racist and apparently was fine beating up disabled people in the stands. I guess in general, I'm fine with a guy getting his plaque in a HoF, but turning the memory of him intoa faux deity seems a bit much.

would find it completely reasonable to put up a statue of Jim Tressel... It's all perspective, I guess.
