Ray Lewis kneeled with Ravens during national anthem
Ray Lewis has been critical of Colin Kaepernick for bringing his political views into the workplace, but the former NFL linebacker decided to take up Kaepernick’s cause on Sunday.
Before the Baltimore Ravens’ game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, Lewis kneeled on the sideline along with some players during the national anthem.

Back in August, Lewis posted a video on Twitter encouraging Kaepernick to not call additional attention to himself by sharing controversial opinions. Basically, Lewis’ message to Kaepernick was that the free agent quarterback should stick to football.
Making matters worse, Lewis recently made some egotistical remarks about the Ravens not signing Kaepernick. Apparently he changed his mind in the wake of Donald Trump encouraging NFL owners to force players to stand during the national anthem.
