Anna Burns Welker and Wes Welker
*The wife of New England Patriots receiver Wes Welker has apologized for her comments about Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis in the wake of the Ravens’ 28-13 win over the Patriots in the AFC title game.
On her Facebook page, Anna Welker posted the following comment after the loss:
“Proud of my husband and the Pats. By the way, if anyone is bored, please go to Ray Lewis’ Wikipedia page. 6 kids 4 wives. Acquitted for murder. Paid a family off. Yay. What a hall of fame player! A true role model!”
Ray Lewis #52 of the Baltimore Ravens celebrates after defeating the New England Patriots in the 2013 AFC Championship game at Gillette Stadium on January 20, 2013 in Foxboro, Massachusetts.
Anna Welker released a statement this morning to sports blog Larry Brown Sports apologizing for the comment.
“I’m deeply sorry for my recent post on Facebook,” she said. “I let the competitiveness of the game and the comments people were making about a team I dearly love get the best of me. My actions were emotional and irrational and I sincerely apologize to Ray Lewis and anyone affected by my comment after yesterday’s game.
“It is such an accomplishment for any team to make it to the NFL playoffs, and the momentary frustration I felt should not overshadow the accomplishments of both of these amazing teams.”

Let Mr. Lewis sue her.. that will stop all that.. and makes anyone with the same ideal an example of WHAT not to do on twitter..or any other social media..
A classic example of one saying something permanently stupid because your temporarily upset. Sore loser but bottom line is had NE won. You would still feel the same. Just would not have expressed it. Apology? Not a chance. It’s ppl like you that’s what’s wrong with the world and sports
Trick bitch… This slut ain’t sorry with her prejudice ass
Ray Lewis is enjoying the good life while someone’s son lays cold in the ground.
What’s his name and what happened? Then shut the hell up!
I hate a coward who will not stand by his/her statement. Don’t try to apologize and make an excuse about competitiveness. What you said was your opinion so stick to it.
I totally agree.
The entire Patriot’s organization are sore losers huh? Dont speak on anything you know nothing about! You may just be an ex yourself one day.
What a beotch! Wasn’t she a stripper or something close???
she needs to stick with what shes good at… being a soulless trophy wife! At least she can watch the Superbowl with her hubby LOL She should thank Ray for the family bonding she will get Sunday helping Wes keep Tom Bradey stocked with tissues…. GO RAVENS!
Why is it anything a white person say about any black person it’s racist? Was it racist when the black community made nasty comments about Bush Jr?
