The Sun had to go pond scum on Ray and drudge up 13 years ago

Spot on, and to be serious for a moment.....I was at the stadium last week and appreciate the heart-felt fondness for Ray the football player; well earned and deserved no doubt.

But I want to know when our society broke down to the point when I hear announcers talking about Ray's family at M&T for the event, comprised of (6)children with (4) women, not a mother in the photo and never raise an eyebrow as if no big deal. Well to me it is, if not for what it says about Ray Lewis, but more what it says about our declining moral standards that it's accepted, defended, and embraced as a new norm as they all herald Ray as a "family" man.

I guess Ray, you taught us if you can afford to pay for as many kids as women you can get pregnant, go for it. As they say, if it feels good do it, right?

I agree completely with this. My posts were confined to what happened 13 years ago and the matter that Lewis has kept clean with the law ever since. He has been a great football player and a decent human being IMHO. But all humans have faults and his personal life, as long as he doesn't do anything illegal, should remain private. But the media won't ever let that happen.

NFL fans are the same all over the league.

Lets be honest, if Ray Lewis had played his entire career in Pittsburgh, do people really think that Baltimore fans would be so enamored with Ray Lewis and his NFL accomplishments, not likely.

A lot of Pittsburgh fans, including me, admire Ray L enormously. And why not? Peerless athlete, fierce competitor and I gather a model citizen. So he made a really stupid mistake years ago. He was investigated and held faultless in the actual crime. Understand it's was serious but are we so lacking in compassion we can't embrace someone who so beautifully turned their life around.

The older I get the less I can suffer fools.
