Legendary Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis said a petition to remove his statue outside the team's M&T Bank Stadium doesn't bother him, but he noted his decision to get down on both knees during the national anthem Sunday was a form of prayer, not protest.
CBS Baltimore passed along comments the 13-time NFL Pro Bowl selection made on The Scott Garceau Show on Tuesday about the statue petition.
"It only bothers me if I blatantly did something to gain awareness for myself," Lewis said. "What I did—is for our country. That's why I challenge people."
He added: "You can protest, I'm gonna pray."
