The big Superbowl story today centered around Pittsburgh Steeler Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and how loose he is going into preparations for the big game. I would think loose is the wrong word to use here because if he really gets loose on Arlington, Texas we will most likely see another rape accusation crop up. The media in their wisdomful way has once again elevated a criminal from the NFL to hero status. If you have had your head buried in the sand like an Ostrich (do they really do that?) then you are unaware of Ben "The Rapists" antics with young girls in bars. According to these two young women he forced himself on them and then sent them on their way. Of course he was never convicted! The NFL initially suspended Rapistberger for 6 games and then "got soft" and lowered it to 4 games. The fans in Pittsburgh were demanding he be traded!
Well, how things have changed. It is amazing how winning heals all wounds in sports especially in Pittsburgh. That is in part due to the brainwashing by the sports media and the pea sized brains of many sports fans. Shit, if the media didn't talk to "Little Ben" who on the Steelers could they talk to? So far he has been humble and cooperative with the media which is a change of pace for him. I would suspect his PR person coached him well. If he was rude and elusive to the media the rape accusations would come up quickly and maybe they should. I would be shocked to shit if it does. Anyway, batten down the hatches and get ready for two weeks of sickening interviews with Rapistberger. I know the Arlington Police force will be on Def-Con 5 after the game is over especially if Pittsburgh wins.
Keep your eyes peeled here for more Superbowl Gripes and my game prediction next Saturday.
Just a comment, Ben got girls drunk to have sex with them right? If you are a guy you have probablt tried that approach once or twice. He has never been tried, let alone convicted of rape so your use of that term is irresponsible.
ReplyDeleteThat being said Ben's actions were dumb and immature. It seems he has grown up now, lets hope his new behavior is a long term thing and doesn't end soon after the season.
Phillip, I mentioned in the Sports Gripe that your hero Big Ben was not convicted of rape. However he was implicated by women on 2 different occasions. Irresponsible words I think not merely my opinion. I also have to say that I never intentionally got women drunk to have sex with her. I have found over my time that a woman who is almost unconscious from booze just kinda lays there and takes it. Of course a nice buzz makes me look much better than I am. Anyway, thanks for your response.

You can not call Ben a criminal or a rapist. (Well you technically can slander a person I guess). He has not been arrested for, nor convicted of, any crime, only accused. And why is that he's not been arrested?? Because the D.A. found inconsistencies in both girls stories about what happened. Why couldn't they get their stories straight?? I know I would do everything in my power to see that the son of a bitch who raped me got what he deserved. Not matter who it was. Some said they were paid off. Again how much money does it take to take away the nightmarish memory of being raped? No amount of money would keep most women from letting their attacker get away with his crime. I think the girls saw $$ signs. And God bless them if they were raped, but shame on them for excepting money if they were. Only Ben and his accusers know what really happened. So calling him Rapistberger is not very nice!
ReplyDeleteOh and one more thing...To quote you in an earlier gripe..."shut the hell up"..."the game is played on the field not in the media". Until and unless he is arrested, tried and convicted, he is not a rapist.
ReplyDeletePersonally I don't care very much for him as a person, but he is a very good QB. You can't deny him that. (but I know you will)
