Ben Roethlisberger deserves a karmic loss for being a fucking rapist

[zulchzulu]

Not once, but three times... GO PACK! Yunno, the team owned by the fans, not corporations...

http://politicalcartel.org/2010/03/11/ben-roethlisberger-rape-pittsburgh-perspective/

If you Steeler fans don't like this, have some more cheese! It will be a chance to retire Big Ben and his little Johnson.

Good times!

[AngryAmish]

1. You would think

But seeing the support Roman Polanski gets makes one wonder.

[HuckleB]

3. +1

[blondeatlast]

19. +2. Go Packers! nt

[HuckleB]

2. Packers fan here. No one's going to look at Roethlisberger as a role model.

But, it's just a football game. It's entertainment! Many entertainers, of all genres have sordid pasts.

Enjoy it, if you like, or ignore it if you don't.

Let's cut the soap opera out of it. Hopefully the game will provide the entertainment.

[bbinacan]

Well said. n/t

[Ishoutandscream2]

28. Thank you. Keep the politics out

[seabeyond]

29. it isnt politics. it is a rapist. cnn had article.... roth redeems himself

with wins. all one needs do to redeem self from rape is to be good at what they do? really?

[Ishoutandscream2]

44. Okay, you're right.

I'm pulling for the sweet, innocent boys from Green Bay. Go Pack!! All are saintly, I'm sure. Jeez.

[Ishoutandscream2]

49. Oh, and Mark Chmura

A sainted Packer from the 90s who won a ring. Did you pull for that rapist back then?

[tigereye]

64. as much as I think he did do what was alleged, he was not

convicted of anything, Sea. (and trust me, I have strong feelings on this matter.) It isn't fair, but that's what it is. However, the Steelers have always been a family-oriented team in the past, and it's unfortunate that his ability to win was what made the decision for them. Anyone else would have been gone from the team and people here were very, very angry about what he had done.


I am kind of glad the universe handed him a giant wake-up call.

[seabeyond]

65. that is the thing. i have always liked steelers. i LOVE steelers coach. AND

i was really impressed with the interaction of steelers with packers. i am always a fan of good sportsmanship and i saw a lot of that. makes game more enjoyable to me. i understand the steelers players didnt back roth on his behavior and that is another thumbs up.

i am sorry for steeler fan. but... i believe the steelers have to pay the price for having that qb. he is not a good guy. before, when i was just hearing bits and pieces of story, i was standing up for guy, making all the excuses of how we dont know. the three males in my house called me on it and said, rape. then i read polic report

i hear ya though....

[tigereye]

67. my son and I had some good discussions about what

respect for women really means, and no means no, and how no one should ever think of females as possessions, or property, or something to be bought. And how powerful men who choose to have/or force sex with drunken females in bathrooms are terribly flawed and have very serious problems. (and likely should be in jail.)

[seabeyond]

68. yup. right there with you

in raising sons. and there are so many examples to use as lessons.... today. not so much the wife in kitchen, ect mentality. more the all whores to be used. same thing, different theme

[bbinacan]

4. I didn't realize he was indicted

and convicted. Who knew. I guess he's on work-release.:eyes:

[jobycom]

9. He's on rich white guy release.

If it were Michael Vick he'd be a lifer. Ask Mike Tyson, who was convicted on less evidence and fewer accusations.

[blondeatlast]

27. +1, much as I loathe Vick. nt.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

55. Ditto. =)

[Spider Jerusalem]

Because of course celebrity rapists never get acquitted. Right?

He wasn't indicted because the district attorney said "it couldn't be proven beyond a reasonable doubt", which I always thought was something to be established or not at trial. Not a reason to not have one. Different rules for the rich and famous, apparently.

[Odin2005]

5. A-FUCKING-MEN!!!

:applause:

And for those who will inevitably say "but he was never convicted", go STFU. Most rapists never serve time, especially if they are rich rapists.

[PBS Poll-435]

12. Like Julian Assange

:shrug:

[Dr. Strange]

31. And Bill Clinton

[Odin2005]

32. So you are accusing Ben's victims of being CIA operatives?

:eyes:

[PBS Poll-435]

36. Not at all. To quote you... "Most Rapists Never Serve Time"

Good for the goose...

[SidDithers]

34. +1...nt

Sid

[The Gunslinger]

6. Even the link you post uses the word "reportedly"

I guess everyone ever accused is guilty.

[seabeyond]

7. go packers.... nt

[Upton]

8. He was never even charged..

let alone convicted..

[Odin2005]

10. Most rapists aren't.

Especially when they are rich.

[bbinacan]

14. "Most rapists aren't"?

huh?

[seabeyond]

17. most rapes are not reported. most rapes reported are not prosecuted. most rapes prosecuted are not

convicted.

so ya, can say most rapist dont pay

[madinmaryland]

18. Huh? WTF???

[Odin2005]

25. Most rapists never serve time for their crimes.

[seabeyond]

11. rich, white rapists.... Polanski comes to mind. nt

[Upton]

13. The Duke lacrosse team comes to mind also

I understand they were convicted without a trial here too..

[blondeatlast]

30. If you loathe DU so much, why are you here? Yahoo has political boards

where you can be contemptuous of BOTH sides. :eyes:

[Upton]

39. You had the lacross team all guilty too..didn't ya?

:rofl:

[blondeatlast]

47. Do a search--you'd be surprised. nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

62. You mean the pedophile ass fucker? He walked because he was

White, Rich, and a darling of the Hollywood Elite.

We looooove Jack Nicholson. He donates to the "cause". Forget that he facilitated the whole fucking episode.

[spin]

21. Perhaps there wasn't any evidence ...

I will say he acted foolishly, but I have no idea whether he acted in a criminal manner. If he did, he will likely repeat his actions and this time he may be convicted.

I'm one of those people who believe a person is innocent until proven guilty.

I'm a Steelers fan and have been from the 70s. I was born in Pittsburgh and raised near Cleveland. I've watched the Steelers win six Superbowls and lose one.

I only wish for a good game with fair referees. I was hoping the Steelers would make the playoffs this year, so they far exceeded my expectations. Green Bay has a great team and it should be a good game.

[The Wielding Truth]

22. He was not proven guilty so he is for now innocent and you comments are out of line.

[seabeyond]

26. rapist...

oh noes... out of line. rollin eyes.

[The Wielding Truth]

40. Were you there? Was there a verdict? Was there a trial?

[seabeyond]

45. rapist. nt

[cottonseed]

43. Reading this comment. One might think rape accusations are just a joke to you.

[seabeyond]

48. nope. take them pretty damn seriously. hence, he doesnt get an out for being a good

footie footie football player

[blondeatlast]

33. That only applies to the justice system. Individuals are allowed to

have their opinions.

But do keep reaching with your judicial fallacies.

[The Wielding Truth]

37. Gossip is not good for anyone.

[blondeatlast]

41. If we can't have opinions, why does DU even exist? nt

[rhett o rick]

15. But the Steelers are a favorite of the NFL. Remember Super Bowl XL.

The NFL already had a big celebration planed for the Steelers before the game, but it took some pretty brutal officiating for them to pull it off. It was in the best interest of the NFL that the Steelers won. I believe it stands as the worse officiated game in NFL history and it was a Super Bowl.

[Bill McBlueState]

16. what about the rest of the guys on the team?

Are they supposed to take a loss because their quarterback's a douche?

[seabeyond]

20. coach and owners should have spined up and sacked the dude.... nt

[blondeatlast]

35. +1. nt

[Esse Quam Videri]

38. Yep

Can't root for a team who is led by a three time rapist. For christ's sake, the NFL suspended him 6 (and later reduced to 4) games for his last "indiscretion". The NFL looks no better in that they let this guy back in the league.
The rest of the guys on the team wouldn't even come to Rapersburger's defense when Roger Goodell did his investigation. I do feel bad for them but I hope the Steelers get crushed.

[MadBadger]

23. I kind of like the Rooneys....this thing isnt about ownership

[CatWoman]

24. fucking right!!!

:grr:

[catabryna]

42. Wow, what vitriol!

Innocent until proven guilty! I guess this is only acceptable if he's on your team?

Either which way... this is about the team that has the refs make calls in their favor, or the best team. Of course, fairness requires that the winner be the best team. But, life isn't fair.

[Esse Quam Videri]

46. Here's another great article on his last "indiscretion" that contains

a link to the police report.

http://socialmediaseo.net/2010/04/16/did-ben-roethlisberger-commit-rape/

[SidDithers]

50. What about the Packers' Brandon Underwood?...

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-packers-assaultallegations

Is it the number of allegations, or the player's position that's important to you?

Sid

[Esse Quam Videri]

51. Wasn't familiar with this accusation.

I am familiar with Rapersburger's because it is his third. Maybe Underwood will still face a trial. We already know that Ben will not.

[trumad]

52. You're a fucking hypocrite...

OK if you team does it eh?

[SidDithers]

53. hehehe...

and welcome to the Sports Forum :evilgrin:

Sid

[trumad]

54. They only come in for the big events...

[PVnRT]

58. Where did he say it was OK, numbnuts?

Do you even bother to fucking read? Or are you just trolling like usual?

[ScreamingMeemie]

66. Yes...Let's see... What about the Packers' Brandon Underwood??

Oh...that's right, they were paid prostitutes who tried to rob him and faced charges for filing a false police report after he caught them. Bummer. A bit different.

[HuckleB]

69. This repeated rant against Roethlisberger is pointless.

However, bringing up a red herring like that one is just as pointless.

[madinmaryland]

56. Hey! Who was the PACKER (or is that PECKER) tight-end that fucked

his daughters friends. Even Favor or Rapelisburgher didn't do that!

DOUCHE!

and un-reccing your thread.

[HuckleB]

61. 12 years ago?

Nice red herring.

[many a good man]

57. He's a Steeler so I'm inclined to think the worst

Rooneys are great but gotta hate the Squealers.

[spin]

59. Not if you were born in Pittsburgh ...

having said that, I believe the best team won today. It was a great game.

[zulchzulu]

60. It worked. HE LOST! n/t

[trumad]

63. Yeah---you're so fucking powerful.
