Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger: ‘I Wish We Approached It Differently’

I appreciate the unique diversity in my team and throughout the league and completely support the call for social change and the pursuit of true equality.

Ben - perhaps you can lead the way in this 'social change' & 'equality' by giving your job to some deserving 'minority'

[Starboard]

People just want to watch a game. Its relaxing entertainment. They don’t want to see a team of full hypocrites (many of whom have criminal records) piously telling them how they should feel and what they should think about social issues. Same thing with entertainers who are a bunch of arrogant, hypocritical elitists who say one thing but do the opposite.

People are sick of the politicization of sports and entertainment and are tuning them out.

You mean more like how you approached a drunk young woman in a bathroom stall while your paid bodyguards kept her friends from coming in while you raped her?

Eff You, Eff da stillerz..

TB was being pretty stupid on Sunday about the whole thing as well. At least BR realizes that he and his team messed up big time on Sunday.

I’ve never thought I could see the Steelers alienate Pittsburgh fans short of leaving the city, but, boy, have they.

Dear Ben,

Sorry, but you should have led the team out. The NFL is dieing and the protest is not making it better. I didn't watch football this weekend. We were boating...

Sincerely,

Deplorable Trump Fans

Too bad, so sad, WAAAYYY TOO LATE! Apology not accepted.
He is crying phony crocodile tears because spineless Ben realizes his money gravy train is over because he, along with the ENTIRE STEELERS TEAM INCLUDING THE OWNER, MANAGER, COACHES ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE STEELERS STAFF EXCEPT FOR JUST O N E solitary, honorable, patriotic, America loving team member has as they say in the military: PERMANENTLY “Screwed the pooch”.
<>
The Steelers fans are never coming back because they love America more than they do an NFL team that has demonstrated once and for all time that the Steelers actually HATE America, our flag, our nation, our values, the military, the police, and they DESPISE THEIR FANS.
<>
STAND FAST; Don’t be seduced or deceived by their phony remorse, apologies and pleas for “forgiveness”. ALL THEY AND THE NFL CARES ABOUT IS FLEECING YOU OF YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY.
<>
Spineless Ben is crying and losing sleep because he realizes too late that he, along with every one of the Steelers save just ONE MAN (Who has now apologized for standing up and saluting the flag!) just “killed their fan base goose that laid the golden eggs” with their own hands! Now that the goose is permanently dead, Spineless Ben is trying in vain to resurrect it.

Dear Ben,
... and may God forget you were ever our countryman.

[beergarden]

He just got word from his agent that his sponsors were mad. Ben is a Phony.

Ben, NFL: If you do this, there will be no forgiveness! No amnesty, no forgiveness of this sin!

You did it anyway. So let it be written, so let it be done...

You’ll get the chance, Benny. When football goes away, you’ll be as employable as Spalding from the movie Caddyshack. Better learn how to use a broom, a mop, and a dinner tray. Serving extreme fajitas at Chili’s is your future.
