PITTSBURGH, (UPI) -- Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, suspended for off-field behavior, has been "dropped" from a spot at the Pittsburgh zoo, officials said.
Roethlisberger's name was replaced on a tall pole the zoo uses to show elephants' height compared to people, WTAE-TV, Pittsburgh, reported.
The zoo has replaced Roethlisberger's name with that of Pittsburgh Penguins owner and NHL Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux, the television station said Friday.
Some zoo visitors had expressed concerns about Roethlisberger's name on the display, zoo spokeswoman Tracy Gray said.
Roethlisberger was accused of sexual assault by a 20-year-old woman in Milledgeville, Ga., in March. After a police investigation, no charges were filed.
The NFL suspended Roethlisberger for the Steelers' first six games of the 2010 football season .
Good.
So no charges were even filed but he is guilty anyway.
Sounds like he was Nifonged.
All was not lost. It seems that they named one of the Bonobo monkeys after Big Ben as a consolation.
Pay attention, ladies. If you want to ruin a man, just accuse him of sexual assault. Doesn’t matter if he actually did it or not.
Yeah, because that's what we all want to do. :eyeroll:
It helps if you can get 3 others to make the same accusation.
Anybody that thinks Ben did absolutely nothing wrong has been very studiously not paying attention.
There are women out there like that.
LOL! Johnny One-note.
Yes, but first you have to get them interested in dating you.
LOL...well...it does seem that way sometimes. The thing that amazes me are those moments of clarity when I realize that it's rarely intentional ;-)
He seems to be an expert at finding them, doesn’t he? It’s just his bad luck.
Sure.
Shades of Nifong?

I believe he did something. Ever since he did the Peter Pan into the windshield he has acted frontal lobish. I think he has been hit in the head too many times and has become disinhibited. JMHO (and the opinion of my Neurologist Wife).
“I believe he did something.”
The first accusation...no. I do not believe it.
The recent one was believable...not at first, but after eyewitness accounts...yes.
There are women out there like that.
It appears there is at least one on this site, too...
