Former Baltimore Ravens star Ray Lewis was defended the organization Sunday morning on ESPN’s NFL Countdown, one day after an Outside The Lines report presented evidence that the team and the NFL may have misdirected the investigation of the Ray Rice case.

“This is one of those situations that… it’s family. I’ve spent 17 years of my career at this one place. I’ve known [Ravens GM] Ozzie Newsome now over 19 years of my career, that’s half of my life. I’ve known [Ravens owner] Steve Bisciotti for 15 years of my life. At least one of those men, bottom line, has never lied to me. They have given me an opportunity at life. To change not only my own life by my family’s life as well as my kids’ life…. If they could do this all over again, they would. If the NFL could do this all over again, they would.”

Lewis argued that instead of focusing on the Rice investigation, the league, fans, and the media should shift focus to preventing domestic violence.

“Sometimes I think we get lost in trying to find out whose head to go after and who to attack now about what they didn’t do. Sometimes we forget why we’re here. We’re here for one reason and one reason only. We’re here for domestic violence. We’re here because we saw a friend of mine brutally hit his wife in the face in an elevator. There’s some things you can cover up, and there’s some things you can’t.”

I know everyone loves making the "murderer" jokes about Lewis, but his statement made yesterday might be one of the most ignorant comments I have ever heard. Why does ESPN continue to let this guy speak about the Ray Rice issue?

For those scoring at home:
Murder = Okay to cover up
Domestic Violence = Not okay to cover up

Ok.
