Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

My heart truly goes to Ray Lewis. As much as this hurts.. I'm okay with this loss..
I think NFL players are role models. Lewis was never proven guilty, but didn't he take a plea to testify against the others. Did they ever find the suit Ray Lewis was wearing that night? Guilty or innocent, such involvement in a horrific event should stop the individual from starring in NFL. I may be alone in my opinion.
I think the same thing about Vick, who may have fully turned it around. Good for him, but the second chance in the NFL shouldn't have happened. I also felt the same way about Plummer, when he spit on a woman in a bar, or about the road rage incident. I may be alone in my opinion on the much lighter occurrences, but felt the same way about them. If your in the position of playing a role model to the youth, you don't deserve to be in the spotlight when you live such a life off the field.
Ray Lewis may be amazing on the field, but in my opinion I don't think he should be there at all.
I cannot stand the guy. The man is a perfect representative of Baltimore. A crime-riddled city. He is the epitome of that.
Yeah, im leaning this direction also, the Ravens pulled out a win and props to them but Ray Lewis isnt a role Model in my opinion he got away with something back in Atlanta in 2000 and its something that i just cant look past, and putting him up on some Hero Pedestal because ESPN wants ratings isnt enough to change my mind about the situation.

Whatever happened in 2000, whether he did it or not. He has changed his life and become a model citizen, he has been given a 2nd chance and he has made the most of it.
You weren't born a bird, but you were born to be great,
to bring hurricanes to the bright sunshine state,
and quickly move on to the brightest of stage
to write your own fable, to fulfill your fate
so they praised you for plays in the depths of december,
as you guided your flock back south for warmer weather,
they called you their king, bound by the purple forever,
but I see a heart, black as raven's feathers.
For you fought and you battled, to achieve your main goal,
You silenced your scoffers, you won the big war
but in the war of the streets, 2 lives were the score
and though you gained the trophy, you gave up your soul
so caged by your actions, with no chance to flee,
you escaped from your bindings, and now you fly free,
you fool a whole nation with gospel from your beak,
but all that I hear is a crow's guilty plea.
you now roam the skies as an acquitted felon,
and devour your prey with your ring in your talons,
demanding the world call you a model and legend
so they may forget your lies and your past sins.
who am I to judge, just a bolstering critic,
they say it's half of the story, that I'm being a cynic
that it's all just a ploy or a self-serving gimmick,
that it's not how you start, but more how you finish
and it's true I can't judge, for I'm no judge or juror
but in the court of the People, I'll take it one further,
cause Lord knows I've been watching, and so is said by the birder,
"when your company is crows, it's nothing but murder."
