As Ravens fans and as a site that covers the team, it’s only natural that we don’t get to know or become familiar with players who wear colors other than purple and black. Our focus is centered upon what those players do that might prevent the Ravens from winning. We might admire them from afar, perhaps wish they were Ravens, or even hope for their best whenever they’re not on the Ravens schedule, any given Sunday.
Too often we fail to recognize their human qualities. Perhaps not intentionally, but in our minds the players are often reduced to robotic-lifeforms that we cheer for.
