Is Carmelo Anthony a Ravens fan?

What has Carmelo Anthony said about the Baltimore Ravens?

The claim rests on a Zagsblog item published February 4, 2013, just after Super Bowl XLVII. It described a bet between Anthony and Chandler, a California native and 49ers fan, over the outcome of the game. The writer put it this way: "Seems Anthony, a Baltimore native and Ravens fan, bet Chandler, a California native and 49ers fan, on the outcome of the Super Bowl." That is the outlet's description, not a statement from Anthony himself, so the fandom is best read as reported rather than confirmed in his own words.

Did Carmelo Anthony grow up a Ravens fan?

Anthony was born in Brooklyn, New York, on May 29, 1984. According to Wikipedia, his family moved to Baltimore when he turned eight, and he later attended Towson Catholic in Towson, Maryland, before finishing high school at Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia. Zagsblog calls him a Baltimore native, which is looser than his Brooklyn birthplace, but the Baltimore years fit the team he was said to be backing in 2013.

Nothing in the reporting says when he started following the Ravens or whether he did so as a kid, so the timing of the fandom is unknown. The sourcing shows only that he was described as a Ravens fan and made a Super Bowl bet in early 2013, when he was playing for the New York Knicks (2011 to 2017) and Chandler was his teammate there.

Does Carmelo Anthony still follow the Ravens?

The only dated item is the one from early 2013, and nothing since then confirms or contradicts it. There is no sourced sign that the fandom ended, and no outlet disputes it. Whether it is still current is unknown.

His loyalty to Baltimore teams does show up elsewhere. He has named the Baltimore Orioles as a team he follows, in his own words, which is a firmer record than the Ravens report and points the same way.

Which other athletes are Ravens fans?

Two other players are linked to the Ravens. Angel Reese has said so in her own words, and Bradley Beal has been reported as a fan.
