I wish I am wrong, but this reads like something written for him by a PR hack, in response to the reaction of Steeler fans nationwide. In any case, it is an attempt at walking back the error; may there by many such more attempts over the next few days.

ESPN has not been watched in my house for almost a year. I still watch college ball, but not on ESPN. They can ESAD.
Most probably written by his agent. He wants to straddle BOTH fences and not piss off the angry Steeler fans who boycott the team AND at the same time, look pro-team. Pathetic.

You are so right! Never heard Big Ben use any of these phrases in prior discussions. Actions do have consequences... I guess someone must have told Big Ben to backtrack as quickly as possible. As a long-time Steeler fan (50 years), I am done with this team and I never thought I would say that ever.
I know that what I would spend on Steeler gear each year will go to other groups I can support and for people like “Big Ben” what I spend is just a small drop in the bucket. No more!

If they’ve put Ben out there back-peddling then you can be sure they heard loud and clear from Steeler fans!
