Ben Roethlisberger
I have to say that after following football since I was 12 years old, and all of my daughters being brought up in a home that rarely missed a game... I can't bring myself to stomach a Steelers game this year.
It was bad enough that Ben behaved, at best, as a disrespectful cad.. and at worst, a predator. It was worse to see him still wearing the black and gold uniform. In a market with the largest female fan base in the NFL, you would think this behavior would be taken more seriously by the owners and management.
My family has been impacted by rape. The rapist did the same thing Ben did... denied he had anything to do with her, then said, well, yeah we partied but nothing happened, and then ... ok, something happened but it was consensual.
I KNOW the man impacting our family committed rape... so when Ben followed his exact "after the fact" footsteps, he made himself look very guilty to us. You can't win enough games to wash that stink away.
