So Pittsburgh doesn't have one of the biggest national fanbases in the countrys most popular entertainment industry?

So a Superbowl MVP winning QB is someone that "nobody cares about" all of a sudden?

On what planet was Ray Rice ever a bigger superstar than Big Ben?

Exactly. We gotta be asked to REMEMBER like you said. Who argues that? Let a black athlete do the same, ESPN would be sure to always REMIND you.

A difference you clearly can't see here

Yeah, and it shows people CHOOSE to remember things.

Because it was out there, all over the place.

So why do people choose to pretend it was never reported? Like it was only on Deadspin or something

The fact you need google (which you won't use) to know Ben had multiple cases on him pretty much proves our point.

Why don't you ever provide anything you speak of.

You're the one claiming the point.

I flat out said it could have been more, but I only recall one.

Just as you said, you only need google, so why do you refuse to use it to prove YOUR point.

I've answered this already.

I'll copy/paste as to make sure you won't repost this crap belief:

:manny:

Jameis Winston is a bigger star than Big Ben? :mindblown:

So Mike Franceasa was lying on EAPNs "wait...wait and see" approach given to Big Ben going as far as COMMANDING their reporters NOT to talk about it?


Man please. A black athlete will always have a fine print of their shortcomings tied to them on ESPN coverage unless he works for the network.
Stay in denial playboy and dismiss us as delusional



Hmmm, this is an interesting case-study. I think Ben is probably more famous after the rape stuff than he was before it, but he clearly was more famous than Winston at the time each story broke.

Cosby is also way more famous than Big Ben ever was or will be and Cos was protected by the media for years.

With that said the way ESPN covered the Rothlisberger situation is suspect. I assume race played some part, it pretty much always does. I'm sure the lack of criminal charges also played a role.

Anybody remember what the media reaction to Bret Favre's "sexting scandal" was?

also ben's paper never got fukked with. no suspensions or anything :manny:

cosby immediately got his reruns pulled and his comedy shows cancelled.

See this is the point exactly, people block out shyt in their head because it doesn't fit their narrative of the world.

Ben was suspended, his money was fukked with.

Tell me all them sponsors Ben got BTW?

People like @LastEmperor2k2 don't realize Chris Rock said that joke to REMIND people like him

Nah, i`m cool with Chris Rock's joke.

He's a comedian, and it's a funny joke.

It's the idiotic responses of people on here (people claiming Ben never got suspended, it was never reported) who I got a problem with.

And no need to remind me, I always thought Ben was a scumbag, you could find it in threads i`ve called him out for it numerous times.

Keep playing make believe though
