Uh-oh Ray Lewis — you’re “spineless,” it seems, for wanting to replace “black lives matter” with “lives matter”:

Black Lives Matter protesters are — of course — up in arms over this slight, including Twitchy regular DeRay Mckesson who wants to get a message to the former NFL star:
Who can call Ray Lewis and let him know that "all lives matter" ain't it? Because this is the only tweet I've got for him tonight.

Hilarious. Will Lewis respond? We can only hope.
More hate from around Twitter:
