BOSTON (CBS) The situation in Baltimore is obviously no laughing matter. But Ray Lewis thinking he has the power to stop the protests on the streets is a joke.
ESPN announced Tuesday that the former Ravens star turned TV analyst will not be attending the NFL draft this week so that he can help stop the violence in Baltimore. Lewis posted a Facebook video to accompany this announcement wherein he pleads with young people in Baltimore to get off the streets go home stay home
Toucher Rich played Lewis message on Wednesday morning amazed at how self important the former football player feels.
There s enough of us in the street that s trying to change what s going on. Baltimore get off the streets We put this city together we put this city on our back.
Oh God Ray get over yourself Fred said. What streets of Baltimore were you on You re a multi million dollar football icon What streets were you on You put the city on your back You were compensated for playing football eight days a year in that city if you count the playoffs 10. I mean get over yourself.
Lewis continued I can t come back home and this is it. Kids can t walk the street. This is our future Our future s in Baltimore What we re trying to build is in Baltimore.
Fred said You know Ray when you were there Baltimore was really F d up really bad. Really really bad. When you were in Baltimore it was a bad place to live in a lot of sections for the entirety of your career. It was terrible. You didn t really do a whole lot Ray. You didn t sweep in there and save the day. I m sure you had some charities I m sure you did some good things. But this isn t new. This is a bad area.
Back to Lewis Too many babies paying attention to this craziness
What is he talking about too many babies Rich asked.
Lewis And the sad part is we got young kids trying to tell us how they re gonna dictate our city. That won t happen. We must change this right now. Go home I m telling you go home Whatever I gotta do it will not happen on our clock.
Fred responded Whatever I have to do sit in my living room with an iPhone I m more than capable of doing it I don t know what I have to but I m More than capable of sitting in my living room and giving you almost two minutes of audio
Rich then played an incredible Super Ray theme song. Listen below
