How Charles Haley felt about Terrell Owens skipping Hall of Fame induction

Charles Haley was a key member of five Super Bowl championship teams with the 49ers and Dallas Cowboys.

Elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2015, Haley spoke this week on KNBRabout Terrell Owens’ decision to skip the induction ceremony in Canton, Ohio, to instead celebrate this month at his alma mater, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

“My thought was there should’ve been more people reaching out to him instead of criticizing him because you don’t know what’s going on in this young man’s mind,” Haley said. “I feel like the world’s been against me most of my life, so I know the battles I have to fight just to maintain that people do care about me.
