Back in February, Terrell Owens was voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. After spending 14 years in the NFL and achieving a lot on the field, his induction is more than deserved. 

OWENS AND HIS ACHIEVEMENTS

In fact, many, including himself, would argue that it's long overdue. 

The retired wide receiver featured for five different teams throughout his career, playing for the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals. 

He was successful with all of them but had standout years in California and Texas, going to the Pro Bowl in six of the seasons he spent with the 49ers and Cowboys. 

On top of that, he led the NFL in receiving touchdowns in three separate campaigns - and was named in the league's All-Decade Second Team for 2000-2009. 

THE CONTROVERSIES 

Despite finding success on the field, it's suggested that the league snubbed him from the HoF for the last two years because of his controversial actions away from football. 

Finally, in 2018, T.O. will be inducted - but even his reaction to that decision has caused a huge problem. 

Rather than just graciously accept his invitation into history, Owens has decided to hit back at the NFL - and will not be attending his own enshrinement ceremony in August. 

Originally, most people thought he was just pushing back against the league for attention, after being snubbed a couple of times, but now he's revealed the real reason he wants to skip.

WHY OWENS WON'T ATTEND THE CEREMONY

On Sunday, one NFL fan took to Twitter to criticise T.O. - suggesting that Jerry Kramer, who will also be inducted into the HoF in 2018, is far more deserving of that honour.  

But Owens hit back, claiming that he's staying away from the ceremony for people like Kramer - and others who have waited much longer than they should have to be inducted. 

Compared to T.O, Kramer has been waiting a lifetime to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. 

The now 82-year-old's career saw him become a five-time NFL Champion, a two-time Super Bowl winner and a five-time Pro Bowler. 

He was also named in the 1960s All-Decade Team and was enshrined into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame in 1975.

So the fact he's had to wait this long to be inducted into the Pro Football HoF is laughable - and what Owens is doing for people like Kramer could be seen as quite admirable.  

Still, though, it may not be the best way to make a statement about being snubbed.
