Ex-Steelers RB Rashard Mendenhall Calls Ben Roethlisberger Out For Being Racist (TWEETS)

Another day, just another instance where the Steelers organization is looking real funny in the light.

It took some time but it seems that Antonio Brown was ready to put the Pittsburgh Steelers drama behind him and focus on getting set to play for the Oakland Raiders for the foreseeable future.

Just when it seemed like it would be peace, another former Steelers star decided to randomly interject himself into the conversation.

Former Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall took to Twitter and decided he wanted to speak in favor of Antonio Brown in a series of tweets:

I know he seems outta pocket right now, but I seriously feel for @AB84.

As a black athlete in this country, you can literally lay your body out and give your entire being for a higher cause, the greater good of a TEAM.

And when you face the firing-squad, for something not entirely your own doing, depending on your position and skin-tone, the “team” may very-well leave your ass out to dry.

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.

To boil that down to @AB84 being a “diva” “selfish” “quitter” couldn’t possibly explain the MAN who for nearly a decade provided professional excellence to the city of Pittsburgh.

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…

That’s when his tweets took a drastic turn when he decided to call Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger a racist.

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

3 hours later, he decided to backpedal on what he said while asking everyone to be fair in this situation:

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

There’s no telling why Mendenhall decided to spew this randomly on Twitter and not provide any examples as to why he would refer to Big Ben as a racist and then all of a sudden backpedal hours later.

This entire situation needs to go away.
