I'm just wondering how much shyt he had got for those two sexual assault allegations. I wasn't really old enough to grasp the situation. Knowing America, something tells me Roethlisberger got less flack then say Winston's allegations or Kaep's current situation.

Don't come at me brehs :whoa: I'm just curious :manny:

I got mad as fukk for the woman and as a decent human being. My boy 52 got slandered like a motherfukker for a double murder he didn't commit, but ben only got a 4 game suspension for rape? Any of us would be doing 15 years minimum.

I hate to play the race card, especially as the majority, but given that he plays a glamour position, had a fairly wholesome image and has a marketable image while playing for the league's favorite team outside of new england, you know they were going to bury that.

yeah I hate playing it too, infact I tried ignoring this issue for the longest

I'm guessing this was more about dollars then favoritism

Bens Rape charges where big news, shyt after the second rape charge there was a whole summer of talk if the Steelers would cut him. Also he was not charged in them, and still was suspended six games(reduced to 4 by the league). It was also news from PFT to the Daily mail when he settled his lawsuit with the accuser in 2012.

The guy is known on every team forum besides the steelers as Rapelesburger..
