PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME NOTIFIED THAT TERRELL OWENS WILL NOT ATTEND ENSHRINEMENT FESTIVITIES
CANTON, OHIO – The Pro Football Hall of Fame has been notified by Terrell Owens that he will not attend the 2018 Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement festivities in August.
Owens was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a member of the eight-man Class of 2018 on the eve of Super Bowl LII. The Enshrinement takes place on Saturday, Aug. 4, 2018 as the focal point of a weeklong celebration in Canton honoring the new class.
“We are disappointed but will respect Terrell’s decision not to participate in the Enshrinement,” Hall of Fame President & CEO David Baker shared. “While unprecedented, the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the nearly 5,000 volunteers and the entire community are committed to celebrating the excellence of the Class of 2018 that will kick off the NFL’s 99th season.”
Baker added, “As we do not want to detract from this great honor being enjoyed by the seven other members of the Class of 2018 (Bobby Beathard, Robert Brazile, Brian Dawkins, Jerry Kramer, Ray Lewis, Randy Moss and Brian Urlacher), their family, friends, and fans; the Pro Football Hall of Fame will have no further comment on the decision made by Terrell Owens.”
