Mendenhall the latest to pile on...Benis a racist and Ben doesn't like Blacks...

For once somebody talking some sense...I did get tired of Ben force feeding the ball every game, year after year, to all those white receivers we had...

Oh wait.....This offseason is beyond nauseating....It's just EVERY day! Stop everyone!

https://steelersdepot.com/2019/04/former-steelers-rb-rashard-mendenhall-calls-ben-roethlisberger-a-racist-during-twitter-rant/

Rashard Mendenhall, best known for his critical fumble in the Steelers' Super Bowl loss to Green Bay, was on social media trying to defend AB, when he tweeted that he was letting a big secret out of the bag, that Ben Roethlisberger is a racist. After awhile he came back on and tweeted that, no, Ben isn't racist, I was just saying that to try to make a point. But it was too late, he'd already added more fuel to the fire that we'd hoped was dying down.

What a lame punk "Spinderella" Mendenhall is. I remember him once acting like he was humping Ben in a playoff game ... now he's really trying to screw Ben and the rest of the team. Just another sad-sack pathetically getting some attention on social media. What a mistake it was to ever draft that quitter.

I wanted to express my rage and views towrds racism and calling some one out for being a racist. But it is a Steeler Forum.!

But if I was Ben, I would sue that coward for everything he has for slander. And donate all that money to fight racism!

Is he that stupid, Foster and Pouncey are Ben's best friends on the team.

Is he really that stupid to support AB, especially now, after he showed his true colors of degrading a young athlete, should I say a young "black" athelete. but who cares about skin color.

Wouldn’t Ben open himself up to phone records and private emails if he sued Mendenhall?

Having a Black friend or 2 doesn’t mean you can’t be racist.

Not saying Ben is a racist but the “I have Black friends” is the oldest trick in the book.

Everyone is missing Mendenhall's point. He attempted to deliver it in a very stupid way, here is what happened:

At 4:45 a.m. he posted, “Alright, I’ll end the mystery. . . [Ben Roethlisberger is] racist and [Antonio Brown is] black. He had to catch balls from a racist quarterback. Every honest player knows it, it’s not a big deal. He was just supposed to take his lickings and move on, like a slave for real.”

Then, 3 hours later, he posted: “Clearly it’s no fun, when EVERYONE’s the accused. . . . Please allow the dialogue in sports to be equal. Why’s it so easy to shoot at one player, but not the other? B’s not racist. Just like AB’s not a dirtbag.”

I don't really consider inciteful narrative = elevated conversation.

The fact is calling someone a racist today is pretty f'ing nuclear. It doesn't make him erudite.

And how condescending is it by calling people who it doesn't play well with an "average football fan."

It doesn't play well with me...because it's divisive, antagonistic, and does the exact opposite of encouraging dialog.

First/Last I am going to say on any of this crap. I am sick tired of the whole thing. AB is POS, LB is a POS, and I am sure Ben ain' t a walk in the park. None of them walk on water.

I just want to root for the Steelers. I really don't care about guaranteed contracts and who is the most self-righteous.

In a way, Juju did fumble away the season, though at that point, we still had a chance to make the playoffs. It was a critical fumble at a critical time, as was Mendenhall's. And AB tweeting about it the way he did makes him the a$$hole of the year. Good for him.

What's ironic is that AB uses Juju's critical fumble (an unintentional mistake), essentially as a reason Juju shouldn't be voted MVP. And yet, when we still had a chance at the playoffs, AB decides to QUIT, a very INTENTIONAL A-hole move.

AB is a miserable excuse for a human being IMO.

We have no idea what happens if JuJu didn’t fumble. Someone else may have ended up being the fall guy if we didn’t score or win that game.

I’m not a fan of blaming a whole game or whole season on one play.. unless it’s the Pats.

True. I was being lazy when I used the word elevated.

And I get why the point is lost on many people because it's a point that hardly even applies, where AB is concerned. Mendenhall is basically saying that anyone can say or report anything about anyone and just by saying it, that doesn't make it true.

But what people are saying about AB isn't just made up. It's in direct response to some of the most absurd, unprofessional behavior we've seen in sports.

Completely agree. Just like you can't put all the blame on a kicker who misses a game-winning field goal in the final seconds. The only thing you can really label Juju's fumble, is a critical fumble at a critical time. AB is the one who chose to label it as a season-ending fumble.

Felt/oh wow (I wish they could give you your old moniker back),

This coupled with your comment about "you were being lazy..." when you typed "elevated" is making my point.

I am going to assume that Mr. Mendenhall is a relatively intelligent young man. So given that assumption your point above about being offended as well as his lazy attempt to start a dialog...might have seemed good in theory but sucked in execution.


He waited 3 hours before tweeting again...He very well knows the society and social media morays. if he wanted to get his point across he could've a) started with a disclaimer or B) post right after the first post within seconds stating what he stated 3 hours later.

I am not sure you were referring to me when saying "offended". I am not offended, but I will call BS (IMO) when I see it.

What he did was sloppy and did nothing to add to any narrative whatsoever.

I apologize for responding again on this as I stated my first would be my last. But I felt obligated to explain to you why I thought it was BS and that I was not offended...just found it not to be "elevated" IMO.

You're right. Over the course of his time with the team, Ben has had more black friends than white ones. He goes to hockey games and monster car races with them, goes on hunting trips with them, goes out to dinner with them, advocates for the team to re-sign many of them, and never utters anything that could be construed as racist. Many of his black teammates have vouched for Ben that he's a good leader and teammate. What a trickster. Better than some of the leading illusionists out there.

Mendenhall was not the sole reason for that loss; I don't think you can pin the blame entirely on him. However, the fact is, he did fumble in a critical spot in that game. If he holds on to that ball, we probably have a 90% chance of defeating the Packers and winning our 7th Lombardi in that Super Bowl.
