Well. Two negative responses to one article demands some sort of response. Do I apologize?
No.
Nothing was said that has not been said in private conversations, on national radio programs, or on ESPN’s Sportscenter. The Ben Roethlisberger situation is an emotional issue; there is no way around that. His lawyer stepping in front of cameras and offering the pitiful defense that he did, calling on the good ole boys network–even linking Roger Goodell to this club–was bound to upset half of the listeners.

And for what? They both insist that nothing was done wrong. Their actions and words would seem to indicate otherwise. Why else explain the “habits” of twenty-eight year old men? Why explain anything if nothing was done wrong?

However fair or unfair, most of the nation has made up its mind about Ben; if they even care. Sentiment is split, and we can’t escape the fact that we’re torn down gender lines. In general, men accept what’s happened and move on; they understand that he’s wealthy and famous, and important in his field. It will all blow over. It’s big business.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m a woman or because I’m the mother of three girls, but the Ben Roethlisberger situation really bugs me.

I’ve read the reports and tried to keep an open mind, knowing that celebrity athletes are targets of the greedy and media-hungry, but my eyebrows are still somewhere in the vicinity of my hairline.

After listening to his attorney Ed Garland Thursday morning on the Mike and Mike show, I’m more offended than I was before. Can the wink-wink-nod-nod of the “men will be men and we’ve all been twenty-eight years old” defense get any lamer?

Funny; I’ve always thought that men who are twenty eight years old are adults, and I expect them to act that way.

Of course, most of this is all the media’s fault for blowing things so far out of proportion and only telling one side of the story.

Okay, Mr. 2000 dollar an hour attorney; step aside and let your client tell his story. If it’s anything like his apology after it was decided that no charges would be filed—something he said he knew the Georgia authorities would get right—it’s no wonder we haven’t heard much from Big Ben.
