No, it's called ignorance. I've never heard of a Ray Lewis and someone started a thread about him not being allowed within 1,000 yards of the white house. You'd think if it was important enough to start a thread on it would be important enough to answer a simple question.
It's also called communication. If you don't understand something you ask a question. In the time you took to make your post it would have been much productive to just answer the question.
You've said enough to let me know it probably has something to do with the Superbowl, which I did not watch because I didn't have a dog in that hunt.

being that you were the one that claims to be out of the loop and most other people have at least a little bit of knowledge on the subject, 5 seconds on google would have told you everything you need to know.

Ive never owned a Miata, Ive never even owned a mazda, but you dont see me berking up every thread about hard tops on "NB's" or raging at people discussing apex seals...I go to google to get what I can first. Pretty standard etiquette
for such a know it all, youre not a big fan of educating yourself...
I know who Ray Lewis is, and I know the Superbowl was played yesterday, but the first post has a red X in it and I still don't understand what it has to do with being 1000 feet from the President.
I was just curious what the joke was.

Plead 2 counts of murder to obstruction of justice
I presume that there is some rule that convicted felons are not allowed near the King of America's house but I do not know that to be true.

This and I agree with poopshovel on this, it's modern internet cool to claim to be "out of the loop" on pop culture/sports/etc, on everything from not knowing who celebrities are to not knowing major sports figures. Everybody seems to be in a competition to prove who knows the least about it, like they are some unique snowflake that is untainted by the masses. Hate to break it to many of you, but you are the masses. 
Instead of asking who in a thread like this, type the name into google and learn more than you need to know to be conversant in the subject. I mean, you're already ON the internet, so how hard is it? This goes for everything from pop culture to the price of a car you've never heard of...

Hahaha. This is true.
13 years ago, Ray got accused of something that the charges were later dropped on. Many of us have been accused of doing various things that we didn't do (usually by spouses, but often by parents) so we should be careful of continuing an accusation after the person was cleared of wrong doing. But it's cool to hate on celebs and sports figures and act as if accusation were fact.

So true. I have noticed that in a couple of threads lately.

As I understand it, Ray wasn't cleared....he plea bargained and plead guilty to a lesser charge. (obstruction of justice) The court case over the two slain men was riddled with problems, unreliable witnesses, conflicting stories, etc.
The problem is two men died and no one has ever been brought to justice. To many this presents a problem in rooting for Ray, as he was involved in the altercation that led to folks being killed..... and then he lied to the police about what happened.
He may not have done anything wrong.....although he may have as well. All we know is he intentionally mislead the police in a murder investigation. This has come up again as Ray is all over the news being portrayed as a role model, and someone to look up to. I'm glad they are telling the whole story and not forgetting and installing Mr. Lewis as a hero.
He was a great football player, but if I was one of the victim's families, I'd want to know what happened that night in 2000.

I am not sure that is a good representation of the situation. More along the lines of:
Ray was involved in the stabbing and killing of two people him and his buddies got into a fight with (he probably didn't actually kill them), proceeded to destroy evidence and try to cover up the crime.
He did a plea deal (guilty of obstruction of justice) where he turned witness on his buddies, but does a suspiciously bad job as a witness so that his buddies get off. Ray eventually pays money to the families of the dead people (probably to avoid the civil case). During an interview before the SB when asked about paying these peoples families off he stated "It's simple, God has never made a mistake".... 
No man. I'm pretty sure he was just accused by his wife of murdering those dudes and said "Naw baby. I didn't do that."
Jesus berkeleying christ. We can't bust on each other about our race, or religion, or weight, or any goddamned thing else anymore. Can football be the one sacred place where we blow the sand out of our respective vaginas and just do some good ole fashioned ball bustin about some E36 M3 that doesn't matter? Seriously?

I deducted points for no racial epithet/insinuation that I like weiners in my butt, and/or that my mother and father are brother and sister, but yeah, you get the general idea, you big chromagnon man lookin motherberkeleyer. 
In the time I've been reading this thread, Ray Lewis has raped a goat and ate 3 human hearts.

I'm gonna go ahead and extend this to college football and UFC "superfans" who have to wear at least 100 bucks worth of branded clothing all the damn time.

Let's just call it ALL football fans, and both be right.
100 bucks? I'm wearing tens of thousands of tuition and deferred income.

What is this so-called "modern internet cool"? I'm so far out of the loop, that I've never heard of that.

he also paid off both families to prevent civil action against him. which to me says "hey i killed your son/dad/husband, i'm a superstar here's some cash go away" kinda like michael jackson paid off the families of all the kids that he didn't molest while he slept in the same bed as them when nobody else was around.
one man's hero is another man's killer, or something like that.
i won't hide it. i think he's a scumbag who got away with killing 2 people. i think it's disgusting how raven fan and most nfl people treat him like a hero. and i think he used PED's to come back from his tricep injury that nobody else could have recovered from in twice the time that he did.
