Claims that when he was playing, the positive energy caused the crime rate to drop.

It’s a stretch at best

A better answer is that the crime rate dropped because Ray Lewis was not on the streets of Baltimore while he was playing football. He was in a stadium with tens of thousands of witnesses.

Well he got at least one law breaker off the streets so I guess he isn’t wrong...

He murdered no one while playing football. Fact.

Now off the field, not so sure.

On his days off he was like a superhero, sacking people who were up to no good on the mean streets of Baltimore

Crazy how football player egos get so inflated from playing a game. You are crashing your body into others for entertainment, not curing cancer chief.

It goes down when the ones killing have all killed each other.

But now, each had like 6-10 kids and they're coming of age

Did he move out of Baltimore? I guess that could maybe lower the crime rate.

I bet the murder rate in NOLA was zero the night we won the super bowl.
