God bless you Ray Lewis and your family.
B.S. with this issue going on, taking a knee to pray during anthem, when you never did before, your just part of the problem. Keep talking
"When you have chaos in your life, fall on your knees and pray" love that Ray.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
@@MQJones1 I was about to go in but I’ll just leave it be
@@MQJones1 what's funny about that?
Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Amen, Brother in Christ Jesus
Makes me think of Jerry Macguire when the overpaid athlete cried on television. 🤣🤣🤣 Wow I didn't realize how ridiculous these guys really were until I saw this.
Amen !!!
@First name last name - You're not there yet. All you know right now is the pride of life.
That's what the cop was doing when he had his knee on George Floyd neck he was kneeling to Christ 😂 !!
The NFL is the largest daycare in the world..... Grow up kids...
There manchilds actually
EUGENE WYATT 😂 lol, most just don’t know what they’re doing when it comes to this. Just be politically correct, go with the flow of what is thought to be the correct thing to do. United we stand, divided we fall. We actually have the greatest country the earth has ever seen. We could accomplish anything by uniting.
There is a time to pray. And a time to stand. It ain’t that hard.
Truth.
more like man-infants actually. WAAAA!!!!
His moms answer to why she was on her knees praying, was beautiful!! Her answer was 100% correct!!
Elvis used to say he was just an entertainer and no one paid to hear his political views.
They just don’t get it.
That’s why he was the king
Mr. B amen and amen
ELVIS PRESLEY STILL THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL.
Biffalo Bull yes he did!! I forgot when he said that. But, I remember him saying it.

Just for you Donna

Another criminal not held accountable and yet was on the biggest stage in America, SMH
Either respect our country and the great freedoms we have that it represents, or go somewhere else. This is a created "crisis" that did not before exist that has been stirred up by our divisive media. He said he kneeled in prayer NOT protest.
Freedom of Speech
@Johnny Salazar Yep, and I remember him being a white dude too
Jack Jones Just where is your country. Not here this is natives land, killed and taken,so where will you go?
@@marcelverses4430 Right ! And that people need to get the real meaning of what that flag means and I could care less and wipe myself with it
Isn’t the right to protest one of them great rights tho. Csnt have it both ways buddy it’s not the right to protest only if you agree with ur
Drive by. All that needs to be said. NFL athletes are so ridiculous and we need to stop supporting them
Don't go or watch the games . I haven't watched a pro athlete in 4 years I don't need them..
@@overout429
I bet you still watch highlights and keep up with sports in some fashion. Hell, you on this 3 year old sports video watching it. Regardless whether it be baseball, football, golf, boxing, mma, surfing, skateboarding, basketball, tennis, or nascar. All these are sports. I guarantee you know who won the superbowl last year. You can say what you want. Part of you is still interested in sports like it or not.
When I lived in Kathleen FL.. I knew his brothers and grandma .. They were very down to earth family and they hide nothing even those family members that chose the wrong paths .. I loved his family .. God bless them ... Keep your pride and stay human ..
It needs to be out of sports.. I watch ball to relax, not additional stress
Time to pray isn’t during national anthem. That’s the time to stand and show respect.
@@selfaware114 do you stand at home when the anthem comes on? That is still a time to stand and show respect whether in private or with a group of people, the vast majority can't say they do. Never saw a lnyone in a bar or restaurant stand when the anthem played in games on the tv. If you can't stand then, you have 0 right to criticize the players for not doing it either. You just come off as a stupid hypocrite in need of education in life and schooling.
At least he didn't stab one or two of them during the interview!!
Betcha he thought about it though
When he said he came from the hood, he meant it! Knife and all. But God opened that door for Ray when he strayed as we all do. In the Bible it says 'we all fall short of the glory of God' and in many cases, your fellow man.
Time for the NFL gravy train to come to an end.
& 3 years later, this comment has not aged well.🤣
@@denisjohnson8198 And neither have you.
@@evisceratednation exceptional comeback, kiddo! #NailedIt😅
@@evisceratednation you are really bad at this, buddy. Keep comin’ tho - you can do it!
With the USFL coming back if the USFL doe's it right this time that might happen.
Where is Ray Lewis These days? He staying quiet.
What an amazing man. He needs to be in the school system, or in the political arena as a leader. He should be training black and white and Asian and Hispanic leaders. I’m so surprised he was even allowed to make that speech on the air. Kudos all around
He's a natural leader and an incredible speaker.
I hope he does get more involved with organizations where he can help young kids. They'll also respect him because he is a sports star.
WTF is Lewis talking about? He's all over the place!!!
What u talking bout ray...u all ova the place baby
Look man 1 knee 2 knee you took one own it!!!!
He agrees that blacks should be treated better but will not take a knee for the anthem because that’s not what that is about
Saint Michael Exactly, all they have to do is stand, people have died for this country, respect the flag. By doing what he did and said was confusing.
Because your not listening
As a retired LEO I salute RAY’s position and support his theory and position. He is doing the right thing and to hell with these people that are trying to twist what it was that he did. Two knees means a lot more than one knee.....! Go getem Ray.
Why didn’t he do this before? Only now, and he’s covering his bases either way - God, BLM, whichever works.
Only place to be during the National Anthem, is standing, hand over heart, showing respect for our flag, this is a damn cop out.
how come they never protested about the dog fights and the women beating?
Hypocrites
dom42able I can understand about the women,but are you comparing black men to dogs?
@Marcel Verses Yes, an innocent dog who is tortured and abused by the hand of a man who is supposed to love and care for it, is more important than a thug’s life.
Ray Lewis is the real deal He is all in. God bless him.
maybe they should sing "God Bless America" for a few years and let players kneel
That’s actually a pretty good fukin idea lolol
“I don’t want any part of this conversation, I’m out!”
James Brown’s Hairline
You can’t handle the truth
Ray walks the walk Shannon talks the talk with no action behind it!
As a long time Green Bay Packer fan, I have to say goodbye. I love my country more than me taking 3 hours to watch overpaid athletes push a false narrative.
I agree with you
Goodbye!!!!
Goodbye
Same!
Same. I haven't watched a game yet this season. I'm not buying any packer stuff. Turn it off and walked away.
The reason why I do t watch sports anymore....they’re on a sports station ESPN and they’re talking politics WTF. Reason why Trump is going full term .....ignorance
Ray lewis a class act !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Ray Lewis wanted to pray he should have prayed separately not locked arms with the fellow players.
Prayer is for all with our brothers and sisters in Christ
Or he could do whatever he wanted to do
The"not for long" league. Laid to rest soon right along with NASCAR. Just play the game keep your BS Political views at home.
Kenneth Chambers Lets not forget the NBA...
I remember when Coach Jerry Glandville told that to a referee. Funny as hell!
Kenneth Chambers Nobody is taking a knee in NASCAR 🇺🇸
Kristen White No they all supported Bubba Smollet’s noose hoax
Nba is the worst of all
Those who stand strong, firstly had to build strength by kneeling. Go Ray Lewis!!! You don't have to explain nothing
Ray Lewis is the best linebacker ever and after seeing this I respect him even more.
Confused???! Easy - leave your politic off the field -
We not paying to watch your confusion!!
We need to take a 5 year break from the NFL!
Just 3 more years
@KENTUCKY BLUE WATERAnd the Owners are right there with them.. Billionaires lowering themselves to the level of these REPRIBATES.. Only in the NFL ( National Felon League )
@KENTUCKY BLUE WATER stfu
@KENTUCKY BLUE WATER for the record Mark Stoops coach of UK football.
@KENTUCKY BLUE WATER I think I read Bob Stoops.
POWERFUL WORDS! Tears listening to Ray. Full respect for him. If you can’t stand kneel both knees to pray. Sure his past has some questions but we all have things in our past. The fact that they disrespect our servicemen and country is a disgrace poor oppressed millionaires.
First of all Trayvon Martin's death was an injustice! Plain and simple! Mike Brown's death was a fitting end to a foolish short life ! The 2 should never be mentioned as the same thing !
Jody I am a 66 yr old white man.I probably agree with you on the majority of the black deaths! I judge each Black Death by police by ''CASE BY CASE''.The problem is that the BLM was started by 3MARXIST people. This does not LINE UP with the United States CONSTITUTION ! Even the GREAT hall of fame Jim Brown does not agree with the MARXISTS.
As a former ravens fan Ray Lewis is full of hot air he loves to hear himself talk
Fighting injustice what about 90% minority in the NFL. Federal funded stadiums?
Ray murdered a guy if I remember correctly. Lol
Here we go “I’m a man” speech !!!!!
Not one damn tear was shed during this performance. SIGH
Lmao
I took a knee every time Ray Rice played.....for all his victims wrongfully murdered.
It's sad to see a grown man try to validate himself like a politician !!! Afraid to speak truth let the other man ask God or take two knees !!!
Hey Ray, you're not the only one who's been persecuted for standing up for the flag and your country, the left did the same thing to Drew Brees!
Drew Brees caved instead of sticking to his guns. Ed Reed was shooting his big mouth off, calling Brees a sucka and Brees should have closed his big mouth for him. Reed it's sucker not sucka, learn how to speak properly chump!
A steaming pile of BS.
I just can't wait for next game day so we can see who takes 1 knee or 2 knees. What an exciting time
#KneesOverTDs
Jon Haberski #BurnInHellRogerGoodell
lmfao👍👍
Once you turn your TV on the ratings go up. Go to social media.
Their not Fkn showing it .. Monday night no anthem..tonight Thursday night football-October 26-2017 didn't show it again!!! I don't know if it will stay this way or not ....I hope not they all need to stop making Football all political and stand n respect all the fallen solders and look at our flag and show they are proud to be Americans!!!
Ray got sassy @1:35 😂😂
DH 1991 lol wtf
DH 1991 ,that's because he's gay.
Lmboooo
LOL
Lol forreal I was hoping I wasn’t the only one that noticed that
Here’s a man who works on fixing the problem, instead of looking like they’re interested in the problem. A man of character!
Ray Lewis is a CLASS ACT! He was doing the RIGHT thing!
Great commitment...Godly perspective. We need more of this man in the air
Black people tend to hide behind the white mans Bible when they want to black wash the truth… we tend to lie to our selves
I'm good with NFL and the entertainment industry. I'll focus on learning how to grow wealth & spiritual growth instead.. hopefully others follow suite
Im an active duty soldier and i am NOT offended at athletes taking a knee... The reason i serve is for everyones rights... Im proud to have deployed so that both Kap and Lewis can express their opinions and even protest....
Wow this is powerful!!! Much respect to Ray Lewis!!!
No matter what has been said about you Mr Lewis, God bless you and your family! You were and still are a man amongst boys!
When in need "Cry" and use the Trayvon and Michael Brown card when cornered!!!
Ray Lewis is the most passionate player in the NFL and he said something profound and he said "When you have Chaos in your Life you must Pray". Everything he said everyone needs to do that everyday and night cause life is hard and when chaos is going on we need to pray to God and he will hear us.
Wow
This is tremendous.
God Bless you and your family.
A true Americain .
Stay strong. I pray with you .
Respect for Ray.
"Did you take a knee?"
"I took TWO knees!"
That reminds me of that scene in Star Wars: A New Hope when Ben Kenobi says that Luke's dad is dead and then in ROTJ he's like
"Well your father is sort of dead, it's a certain point of view"
Brother Ray I am so proud of you I don't know if you're able to read this comment or not but I'm so proud of you all young men need to see that it take prayer not protest to bring us together. God bless you God bless your family may he watch over you keep his angels around you I am from Baltimore Maryland also and I love to see you play football you play I'm also a member that great fraternity that you belong to.
i am a 60 year old white man who is very proud of his country my DAD served in korea who was also very proud of his country i am so proud of RAY LEWIS for what kind of of young man he is i am PROUD to call him my BROTHER GOD BLESS AMERiCA
He took a knee..smh He could easily of just stood up with his head down and prayed.
That’s true but I do believe he was praying.
I vote with my participation in the NFL, which is nil.
Never thought I would say this.... but I love Ray Lewis. What a passionate man. His kids are absolutely blessed to have him as a father. His message: honor your country and do something positive to fight injustice. Too many just want to just shoot off their mouths. Wish they would get Ray's message so I could return to watching NFL football. As long as those pampered multi-millionaires continue to exercise their 1st Amendment right to piss on the flag, I will continue to exercise my rights and change the channel.
How many times did dude beat his moms he always bring dat up
WoW so many season tickets being burnt. Me wonders if there will be an NFL this time next year.
Chester Kat Meanwhile back at the ranch, the NFL has already been compensated for those tickets.
Dumb to burn the tickets... may a copy, burn that and turn those babies in for a refund. THAT'S WHAT HURTS
Doctor Chester Kat this aged well😁😁😁
I thought mc hammer was gonna pop out. LOL
Omg it brought me to tears they tasing him like that and can hear screaming I started crying I could never hurt no one like that not taking part of anything that will hurt other people this is too much.
Ray Lewis is a cool dude and a Real Talent.
As soon as I saw Stephen A I was done with this video😎
MORE OF A FRIEND would've come to you face 2 face
Ray, it's great to pray on your knees just not during the national anthem. Good choice bad time.
I hope you understand why people had a problem with your timing. We don't kneel for our anthem even on two knees. You could have knelt after the anthem. But I personally believe your explanation and also pray for our nation. I love the good that you do.
God bless this man. Hopefully 2 years later he still thinks like this and hasn't changed
I still have no respect for this character
2 years later, let's here what he's got to say now.
Nothing. Freedom of speech
Same thing yall don't get it.
@@bradbrown6476 Get what?
He can say the same thing. He prob voted for Trump. Good for him. He gets some things right. Some things misunderstood. But he has a good heart.
Wow! Ray Lewis you give me hope.
He gives me hope too... Hope he never does it again
Great Person Ray Lewis........Love your Response.
Gimme a break ray. You could've stood with your hand on your heart and when the anthem was over drop and pray and you would've gotten alot more respect
How are y'all gonna hate on this man when he's one of the only ones in the black community trying to communicate with both sides he is trying to create change but y'all hating on him sad
Oscar Cordova it truly is
Oscar Cordova great reply. Ray makes a lot of sense . Talks without any hatred in his heart .
Oscar Cordova Ray has the Balls to go against his so called friends and salute our flag and Anthem.
Be Clear on that.
Erikur Homesteadilmqollla
lol how ii0 ii0i000 00i 00o o ok
How he the only one in the communities, there are alot of players who are active in their communites
Ray prayed to his God for reasons he voiced. His Mother raised him well.
He's addressing issues with pure Love and kindness. He's doing the best he can possibly do to help EveryOne he can as a way of life.
I admire Him in that.
Be well, Brother Ray.
This is a true American. Black man respect The military and our police officers. My family is full of military veterans and active members right now and we're officers to.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I have the utmost respect for a Ray Lewis. What you said has made the most sense out of anyone I've listened to on TV in a very long time. A lot more people need to get on to knees and pray. And I commend Ray Doing what His heart tells him what to do.
They don’t know what to do? How bout shut up stand up like men and play ball
This guy has more heart and love for his fellow man than many of you can pour out of a thimble! You don't even have a clue or you wouldn't down him like you are! You didn't listen, neither did you hear, YOU DON"T WANT TO and it is painfully obvious from your heartless comments!
I do not care what he thinks his motives were. If he was so proud to “standup” for cops and the military, he should of stood with his hand on his heart. There is no gray area here.
Cop over GOD are you crazy
Ray, what are you talking about?? The chaos is when unarmed people of ANY shade are shot and killed unnecessarily. Also, the FACT of the matter is PEACEFUL PROTEST is a RIGHT in this country regardless of what song is being played at the time. I feel for you as far as what you witnessed as a child. As a minister and activist, Im disappointed in you. Please remember you got where you are because of PEACEFUL PROTESTS by blacks and whites who wanted and demanded change. Stop making it about country, veterans, anthem etc. Your entire argument is categorically misguided and erroneous. You should know better. Smh.
His passion is a site to behold.👊
Ray Lewis passionately explains his intent. But look at the likes/dislikes.... AMERICA AINT NEVER GONNA AGREE
Apparently that seems to be true. I didn't understand why he did what he did but once I heard is explanation I understood. He is in a unique position to do a lot of good and I greatly admire him. We are all in this life together and we all perceive things differently and none of us are bad because of that. We simply need to work to understand each other and we all have different backgrounds and be tolerant towards others.
Not until it is equality for everyone
“I’m 42 I have 6 kids I’m a grown man. So to be disappointed in me....”
The heck? I can’t be disappointed in him because his an adult?
Looks like they starting to lose funs and money and now they want to reapair his mistakes
You can stand to pray too Ray. Appreciate what you're doing and saying. Just not sure if you were on 2 knees during the flag/anthem or before or after. Because if that's the case, that's kinda being a hipocryte if you did it during. NFL and players need to get it together and stop politicizing sports, no matter what Trump spouts.
I'm definitely a ray lewis supporter and I guess a fan (steeler guy). Gives hope to a hopeless world.
Thank you Ray. The time to drop to one knee looking down is over and the time to drop to both knees and look up is here. 🙏
On your knees like the guy you may or may not have killed
Irrelevant
Timothy Why do you hate God?
Big Boi not irrelevant
Allegedly 😏
Irrelevant? Lmao
Very strong response. Love out to this man and his family.
These players bit the hand that feeds them. They should have found a different method of protest.
Mr. Lewis, it's 3 years later and the confusion and trouble in this, the greatest country in the history of the world, and Blessed by God, I'm with you. I'm on my knees (plural) every day. God help us help each other.
Real man talk from a real man. Thank you Ray Lewis
Stand Up Man.
Sorry Ray you are WRONG to criticize Collin! You greatly disappoint me. DO NOT criticize Collin!!
STEVE RAY FROM LOS ANGELES,... UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT OF VIEW AND I AGREE ......AS A BLACK MAN!!!!! RAISE IN SOUTH WEST LOS ANGELES......FROM 1955 TO TODAY!!!
Thats it! Mr. T. He sounds just like Mr. T!
