Ray Lewis Says NFL Lockout Will Increase Crime Rate
What?! Ray Lewis Says NFL Lockout Will Increase Crime Rate
BALTIMORE- Star Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis told ESPN that an NFL lockout will lead to an increase in crime because of the free time NFL players are given along with the large amount of people who depend on them.
ESPN reports:
“Do this research if we don’t have a season — watch how much evil, which we call crime, watch how much crime picks up, if you take away our game,” Lewis told ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio.
That’s because, Lewis said, the NFL lockout affects “way more than us” — the owners and the players.
“There’s too many people that live through us, people live through us,” he said. “Yeah, walk in the streets, the way I walk the streets, and I’m not talking about the people you see all the time.”
When asked why he thought crime would increase if the NFL doesn’t play games this year, Lewis said: “There’s nothing else to do Sal.”
