The Pittsburgh Tribune Review has solved the mystery! Big Ben is a rapist because of his concussions! Of course, it all makes sense now! We can't blame poor Baby Ben for his actions. He is just a product of a terribly violent sport. The article makes some valid points about how frontal lobe concussions can affect judgment and behavior, but they forget to address one big point. Why hasn't every repeat concussion victim from the NFL sexually assaulted people repeatedly, or rode a super bike with no helmet, or ditched a Make a Wish kid? Let's take a look at the "behavioral problems" concussions have caused on other NFL players.
- Hall of Famer Steve Young suffered at least 6 concussions during his career. He now works with the Pre and Post Game Monday Night Football crew.
- Hall of Famer Troy Aikmen suffered at least 10 concussions during his career. He now is a commentator for Fox NFL. (Although along side Joe Buck. Hey no body is perfect)
- The little man that could, Wayne Chrebet, remembers at least 5 concussions and there were many games when he could only see white out of the corners of his eyes after being hit. He now owns a successful steak house and sports bar on Long Island and lives a great life with his family and kids.
- Ben Roethlisberger suffers a few concussions through his career... and SEXUALLY ASSAULTS PEOPLE? Yes, it all adds up.
On another note, the worst part about this is now Eminem has added Big Ben to his list of celebs that he makes fun of. In his latest freestyle Em says
"Fuck that, I'd rather turn this club into a bar room brawl / Get as rowdy as Roethlisberger in a bathroom stall."Scratch that. The WORST part is The Pittsburgh Zoo has removed an image of Big Ben from their zoo. It was used as one of those cardboard life-size cutouts so people could compare the size of elephants to him...I also here he is no longer welcome in that zoo.
The tragedy of Big Ben is comparable to Oedipus
