Ben Roethlisberger. Now, just the mention of his name has negative connotation.Once again, the Pittsburgh Steelers 'Golden Boy' and two-time Super Bowl winning QB was accused of sexual assault. This time his accuser is a 20-year-old female college student.
The young woman, according to reports, vows that Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her at Capital City, a night club in Milledgeville, GA.
Two questions came to mind when the story broke a few days ago. Why does Roethlisberger own a home in Milledgeville, GA? And secondly, of all the magnificent cities in the US, why would he choose Milledgeville to host his birthday celebration?
Either way, this accusation causes us all to question the reliability of Roethlisberger's judgment and also his credibility.
As human beings, we all have and will make mistakes in life, some bigger than others. I can't and will not sit on a soap box and preach as if I'm the quintessential man because I'm not.
Nevertheless, if the first 'sexual assault encounter' didn't rattle Ben's cage just a little, then maybe he's a lost cause. Perhaps...
