spin then fall calls Big Ben a racist

It seems there is some strange obsession with Steeler culture to create and sustain controversy and drama. When the team makes huge steps in an effort to cut away all the drama, former players are compelled to stoke the fires.

Mendenhall was always a weird duck, but coming out and calling Roethlisberger racist just out of the blue like that... That's a bit of the weak-sauce man. I don't remember him EVER having any issues with Ben or any other players. He wasn't all that happy with the ownership, and he had some relatively controversial opinions. And I know that some of the fans reacted strongly to those opinions, but why stab Roethlisberger in the back.

In fact, you know how HASN'T said a single frickin' word through all of this? Any guesses? Beuller? Beuller? Beuller?
 
I would love to know how this went from Ben getting the ball to JuJu over AB too much to Ben being a racist. W T ever loving ****?

Now Rashard is trying to make excuses for AB bailing.

Sorry, I don't care if Ben showed up to work in a white hood. Talk to Ben. Talk to the coach. Talk to ownership. You don't just fail to show up for work, fail to respond to phone calls and then expect everyone to feel sorry for you. You don't lash out irrationally at other people who had absolutely nothing to do with the situation. You don't spout gibberish on social media like a middle school girl and expect people to admire and respect you.

That's how a child acts, not a grown man.

What kind of bizarro world is Rashard Mendenhall in when he is defending this kind of bullshit? He knows absolutely nothing about what went on between AB and Ben. Yet he feels he has to leap to AB's defense because AB is black and Ben is white. Talk about being RACIST.
 
WANTED:

A white former Steeler player to bash Big Ben....
 
What's this guy doing now? Is he broke yet? Think I'll go watch clips of Ray Lewis breaking this asshats shoulder.

He’s a writer/producer on the Rock’s football series on HBO.

Weird, since he wanted to get into writing fiction and getting away from football. So he ends up a writer for a sports series....Maybe this is some stunt to get viewership.

And then he actually retracted it and said Ben wasn't a racist. WTF?
 
Ben is racist??
I WISH
If that was the case he would have made sure Tomlin was gone years ago
And he'd have a few more rings.
 
I used to defend this cat all the time, but no more. These closet racist love to deflect. Sickening. Spinthenfall can go **** himself.

That second that. Ra-tard Spinthenfall needs to shut his ******* mouth!
 
He did not think BigBen was racist when he was humping him on the field.

Haha, good point. That was a little, uh, strange.
 
Very good and right of Ramon. Hopefully another Black player will address more directly and put another stupid story to rest.

Here is a truth. I always say Ben is good with me & here is why. He and my son @Jclark21_ were close. When Ben was suspended he took time on a Sat morning to support Jo at his pee wee football game. He was hounded and knew that he would be, but he went because my son was his guy.
Last, the game Ben attended I couldn’t. We had walk thru that morning & part of football is that work becomes family... And many times takes priority of your actual family. So he was there for Jordan on a morning I couldn’t be & I am more grateful for that than the throw to Tone

Ben sounds like a real racist son of a *****.
 
Dear Mr. Clark. Your stories, while fascinating do not fit the narrative. Please amend them to highlight the time Ben mercilessly heckled your child when you were away and thus couldn't defend the poor impressionable youth who to this day carries the unseen scars of racial victimization.
 
why is it when some can't find an intelligent word to say they bring racist to the table.

If they are gonna use the "R-word", give examples. Stand behind your words and give reasons why after 11 years, you feel the need to trash your ex-QB and go to bat for a WR that I'm not even sure he knows.

They played together for 2 years, but yeah, **** is out of hand. I hope Ben sends a "**** you" to everybody and wins a 2019 NFL MVP and more importantly, a Super Bowl trophy.

But AB says Clark is an Uncle Tom so his opinion doesn’t count. Terrell Davis on NFL Network said that you can’t believe Foster or Pouncey either because the OL always has the QB’s back.

Only the word of disgruntled former skill position players can be trusted. We all know WRs are the most honest and level headed players on any team.
 
This is out of control, thank goodness Ben doesn't tweet. He should file a defamation lawsuit, but i guess that would be even more unwanted drama.
 
Figures, one quitter sticking up for another quitter. And how does this loser write about football? What the **** does he know about playing a team sport? He's a quitting piece of **** that fumbled in the biggest game of his life. And then he personally attacks an ex-teammate with lies? What a low life piece of ******* garbage. Go back to being invisible ********.
 
How about a single example of the alleged racism Rashard. Or is this your perception based upon who hangs out with who or their interests etc. Like tell me a time he said or did something racist.
