Athletes and Rape

I am going to start this article out by saying that I despise Ben Roethlisberger. In an older entry in which I covered the 5 athletes I would like to punch in the face Roethlisberger came in at #3. I hate everything about him, from his stupid face to the way he is over rated by the media as being somehow comparable to Tom Brady. The point is I do not like him.

Having said all that I am 100% supporting Big Ben as he tries to defend himself from allegations of rape from a Lake Tahoe woman.

It was reported over the weekend that Roethlisberger had been accused of rape by a 31 year old Hotel hostess. Roethlisberger spoke to the media for the first time today and said that the allegations were "reckless and false."

The woman claims that Roethlisberger lured her to his hotel room by claiming that the TV was broken. Once she entered the room she claims that he forced himself on her and proceeded to rape her.

BS!

I don't care if she gets hooked up to a lie detector test and passes it didn't happen. Did they have sex? More than likely yes. Did he rape her? No way in hell. Big Ben may look like a complete idiot but he is a smart guy. Add the fact that right now he is the biggest NFL star on the planet and you realise that he doesn't need to rape women to get laid.

Yea I said it! So what? You know it is true.

The man is a multi-millionaire who just won his 2nd SuperBowl in less than 4 years and you think he is going to rape some hotel hostess? Not likely. The woman is just in it for the money. The best way to prove I am right is by pointing out the fact that she hasn't filed criminal charges against Roethlisberger. To me this shows she only wants the money. If she had truly been raped don't you think she would want the man that raped her in jail? Think on that.

All that happened in that hotel room was that Roethlisberger stopped thinking logically. Being a world famous athlete he should know that the last thing you ever want to do is be in a room alone with a random woman and have sex. Did he learn nothing from Kobe?

Athletes everywhere should have learned from the mistake Kobe Bryant made. To all of you who think Kobe is guilty simply click this link http://www.collegecharlie.com/katelyn_faber_globe1.jpeg. That is the girl that Kobe apparently raped. You're telling me that one of the biggest athletes on the planet is going to jeopardize his career, marriage, and life to have sex with her? Come on now be smart.

Now I am not saying that every athlete who gets accused of rape is innocent but for the most part the women are usually lying. A prime example is the Duke Lacrosse case in which a young woman claimed she had been raped by 20 members of the team. She later claimed it was only 3 and then even later revealed that if never actually happened.

This is such a critical issue for athletes that is was covered in the show Prime U. Prime U was a show on the NFL Network where Deion Sanders brought in perspective NFL players and got them ready for not only the NFL Combine but also for life in the NFL. In one of the episodes he had a supermodel come in and talk to the young men about the dangers women can provide and how they need to be careful.

Deion went on to tell stories of former teammates who had been accused of rape or of fathering children that weren't actually theirs. He said many of them paid off these women to avoid media attention. Sanders himself was falsely accused of fathering a child and chose to take the legal road to prove his innocence.

Whether Roethlisberger raped this woman or not his name and reputation have now been dragged through the mud. He has been called a rapist which is one, if not the worst, things to be called. Is he a rapist? No. He is just a 26 year old man who wasn't thinking clearly and allowed himself to be put into this position.

Stay strong Ben *raises right fist in the air as a sign of solidarity*
