Ryan Clark Disagrees with Ed Reed Suspension

Found November 20, 2012 on FootBasket:
PLAYERS: Ryan Clark,  Ed Reed
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers,  Baltimore Ravens
65

Normally, you couldn’t find a Pittsburgh Steelers player who would agree or take up for a Baltimore Ravens player. In this case, however, I think Steelers safety Ryan Clark can empathize with Ravens All-Pro safety Ed Reed being suspended and fined a game check for a third offense of a helmet-to-helmet hit. Clark spoke out via Twitter to voice support for Reed, and let people know he doesn’t agree with the suspension. Tough on Ed getting suspended. I can’t say that I agree w that. It was a penalty but I don’t believe he was intentionally trying to harm E. — ryan clark (@RealRClark25) November 19, 2012 The league is moving in a direction that emphasises safety, and the perception that it’s a safe league. The fact that the league chose to fine and suspend one of the all-time greats, and generally clean, tough player, says all you need to know. The post Ryan Clark Disagrees with Ed Reed Suspension appeared first on FootBasket.
