So the announcement was made yesterday that Ben Roethlisberger would not be charged with the sexual assault of young women in a Georgia nightclub and he made a statement about it that night. You can see it here:To me he thinks he can do anything he wants and get any girl he wants and he can't. He apologized and everything but missed one key point. That he's been partying and is going to make a change. I think that he was a little to full of himself and hopefully this has brought him back to earth. Although, you never know. He got in trouble after he got sued for the same thing. Terry Bradshaw talked about Big Ben and here is what he has to say. . .
I liked the statement. Too many professional athletes think that they can "party hardy" and fore go the consequences. May we point to Ray Lewis, Micheal Vick, Gilbert Arenas, and Tiger Woods. What sets them apart from Ben is that they learned their lessons. Although, it is too soon to say that of Gilbert and Tiger, I'm sure they won't be putting themselves into anymore trouble.
In any case, I think there is something rotten in news coverage. Tiger Woods received the utmost coverage on programs that hardly ever covered sports, but when Big Ben is in trouble, for the 2nd time remind you, we see nothing. Everyone was on Tiger's case and let's see. . .has any of Tiger's trouble involved the law? Uhhh NO. In fact in the list I previously mentioned, Tiger was the only one who didn't have anything to do with law. Yet he has been extremely censured. What's going on here? I leave you to ponder that. J out.
