Former Ravens and Jets linebacker Bart Scott made several trips to Cincinnati during his 11-year career. Playing against the Bengals wasn't the reason why he hated visiting the Queen City.

Scott told CBS Radio's Damon Amendolara that the Ku Klux Klan frequently held rallies in downtown Cincinnati whenever his teams were in town to face the Bengals.

"The first three times I went there -- we usually went there like November or December -- and the Ku Klux Klan would always be having a rally right across . . . there was this ice rink, right? There was always the Ku Klux Klan there," Scott said via the Sporting News. "I wanted to go over there and do some sheet-busting. You know what I mean? I wanted to put some paws on some people. Don't be mad at me 'cause we winning right now. I swear, every time. Is this the only place they go? Dang, Grand Wizard switch it up, man. You can't make this stuff up, man."

While avoiding a confrontation with the KKK in the middle of an NFL season was probably the smart thing to do, others may have had this reaction to the thoughts of him going sheet busting?
