Rashard Mendenhall Says Ben Roethlisberger Is Racist

The Pittsburgh Steelers are a complete mess. Antonio Brown has taken a s#!t on his former team, head coach Mike Tomlin is under intense fire, teammates are throwing each other under the bus, and now this.

Yesterday, former Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall took to Twitter to level racism charges against quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in defense of Brown.

Think about what it would take to render @AB84, the GREATEST COMPETITOR of our generation, incapable of showing up to play in his last game.

By no stretch am I saying @AB84’s been without guilt this off-season. I just hope to see more compassion and examination, for a guy who gave everything he had until he couldn’t bring himself to do it, for even one more game…

Alright, I’ll end the mystery… B’s racist and @AB84’s black. He had to catch balls from a racist quarterback. Every honest player knows it, it’s not a big deal. He was just supposed to take his lickings and move on, like a slave for real. https://t.co/ubI39UDauY

But hours later, Mendenhall hopped back on Twitter to seemingly walk back his formerly confident claim…

Clearly it’s no fun, when EVERYONE’s the accused…

Please allow the dialogue in sports to be equal. Why’s it so easy to shoot at one player, but not the other?

B’s not racist. Just like AB’s not a dirtbag.#letsbefair

Perhaps Mendenhall was trying to level what he considers “unfair” charges against Roethlisberger in the same way that “unfair” charges have been attributed to his lil’ friend Antonio Brown.

Mendenhall has yet to truly clarify what he meant. What do you think of all this?
