Ben's contract?

[Steel Maniac]

I believe it came down to a he said/she said situation and the DA decided not to pursue the case if Im not mistaken. There was accusations of a payoff thou.

I don’t know how anyone reads that second accusation and comes to his defense.

People get bent out of shape over Hunts toe tap kick (which was stupid) but read all this info on Ben and used a DTF sticker as consent.

Whatever, I just hope we never have to defend another Steeler player from that type of stuff.

All I know is when you are accused the first time and then find yourself in a utility closet with a girl who isn’t 21 it’s a problem.

Especially when you settle out of court and the video tape from the nights events ends up “destroyed”

But yeah... keep believing he is an innocent victim.

all you know is nothing actually

the tapes rolled over into the next day. do you think businesses keep vcr tapes in their storage room from every day they are open for business? if the police asked for them that night, they would have got them

besides, what would the tapes show different then what several eye witnesses statement said?
do you think tapes were being rolled in the bathroom/storage room? you know they can't have cameras rolling there for privacy issues, right??

some of those eye witnesses stated "she was all over Ben". the only ones to even slightly side with the girl were (guess what) her friends.
a poster on another board says he did security detail after the incident. He mentions if any of the allegations were true, he would not be a fan of ben or the steelers any more.
said the result of the investigation is what played out. a girl out there looking to bang a star, got too drunk and fell, is embarrassed, then makes up an allegation. even an over zealous DA didn't have enough evidence to officially charge Ben
I'll assume you never had a female initiate a sexual encounter with you and think its impossible that the events played out that way.
maybe the DTF on their shirts stands for some religious symbol that ben and his lawyers are obvioulsy burying

all you have is half assed rumors and theories that people like you, troll steelers fan pages with.

you should read the whole report. not just what the alleged victim and her friend said about the incident who obviously have a biased side to it.
there were ye witness statements from people in that bar with no allegiance to either side

[Oh wow]

If you have an SA allegation in your past and you are worth hundreds of millions...

You DONT go into a utility closet with a drunk girl in a college bar.

Keep defending that type of behavior.

Nothing good comes from that type of interaction.

I’ve more than my share of drunk women wanting all of this goodness and back in my day I had my fun but I also was smart enough to know where the line was and not to cross it. Not even bragging but I used to be in a band that opened for groups like Outkast and The Roots. I have seen more than my fair share of drunk chicks who were trying to have fun while on tour.

and now that I have something to lose I would never take that chance for a quick fix.

[Oh wow]

I hear you but I think you are missing the point.

I’ve never said Ben raped these women. I’m pretty good at making sure I say (ACCUSED) because it’s not the actual act it’s the accusations and putting yourself in a negative light.

Public perception trumps all IMO.

Whether you like it or not that part of Ben’s legacy.

As someone who lives in Bengals territory I am fairly often correcting those incorrect perceptions. Just because people hold to a false narrative doesn't mean you can't correct it.

Ehh.. that’s the problem. We have to constantly defend Ben over that nonsense and tell people to read reports and details.

Imagine if Kobe Bryant had a second accusation after his first one?

No. The problem is Ben ignored warnings and continued to put himself in jeopardy.

There is a reason we haven’t heard anymore stories about Ben... he finally wised up.

[Ernie]

Well.. Russell Wilson just announced his next extension... 4 year 140 million. This should get interesting.

Ben Roethlisberger: We are all about each other

Posted by Josh Alper on April 16, 2019, 2:42 PM EDT

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been the subject of critical comments from a variety of former teammates since the end of the 2018 season and several current teammates have spoken up to refute those barbs, but the quarterback has not offered a direct response to any of it over the last few months.

That didn’t change when he provided a few quotes to the team’s website about the start of the offseason program. Roethlisberger said that it has been “fun to be out there throwing with the guys” for the first time since Week 17 of the 2018 season.

Roethlisberger was also asked about having all of the core veterans on the team on hand for the voluntary sessions and his answer included what could be taken as a comment about some of the people who aren’t in Pittsburgh any longer.

“I expect nothing else,” Roethlisberger said. “We want to show we are here, dedicated to this team, dedicated to having a great season. We are all about each other.”

Running back Le'Veon Bell and wide receiver Antonio Brown were the biggest departures from the Steelers. Bell wasn’t with the team at all last season while Brown’s final days with the team did little to live up to the idea of full dedication to the team. That may not have been the impetus for Roethlisberger’s comments on Tuesday, but the choice of words doesn’t feel totally coincidental given the words some others have chosen to use about Roethlisberger of late.
