The Baltimore Ravens have beaten the Houston Texans to secure their spot in the AFC Championship game, and fans think Martin Luther King Jr. came back to support the home side.

The former activist has been dead since 1968, having been assassinated at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. But fans were making various claims on Saturday night as an individual who looks exactly like him was spotted in the stands at M&T Bank Stadium while the Ravens were building their lead in the second half.

 


MLK was not into sports and is said to have told a reporter he didn’t have much time to indulge back when he was alive. It’s unlikely he would have been a Ravens fan given that he was born in Georgia.

It’s probably going to be worth keeping an eye on Falcons games if they land Bill Belichick, though.
