Ray Lewis Warns Crime Rates Will Rise If Lockout Continues

According to Ray Lewis, when football players aren’t out on the field, crime rates rise.

The Ravens linebacker explained that there is a segment of the population that is both a high risk for becoming criminal and loves football.

Said Ray:

“There’s too many people that live through us, people live through us. Yeah, walk in the streets, the way I walk the streets, and I’m not talking about the people you see all the time.”

Ray hopes that the contracts can be negotiated quickly so the players don’t cause any real-life problems.

“There’s people who are really struggling for real,” Lewis said. “There’s real struggles out there.”
