Civil Lawsuit Filed Against Ben Roethlisberger

[User Name]

which i understand.....im saying america media loves for a black man to do something wrong and if he is rich its a plus bc he is going to get thrown under the bus.

I hate to throw up the easy one, but you do know our current president is a media darling (not that there's anything wrong with that) right?

Edit:

And everyone wanted MJ, Magic, Shaq etc... to fail. Everyone hates tiger too damn America hates high profile African Americans.

Apparently the reason why ESPN isn't reporting it is because it's not considered a criminal case yet.

That's kinda bullshit since they were all over the Marvin Harrison civil lawsuite when criminal charges have never been filed.

Marvin Harrison's accuser shot seven times

Posted by Mike Florio on July 21, 2009 6:25 PM ET

As several of you have pointed out regarding the decision of ESPN not to report on the civil suit against Ben Roethlisberger, ESPN previously departed from its supposed policy of no reporting on civil cases absent a criminal complaint in the case of the shooting that allegedly involved former Colts receiver Marvin Harrison.

ESPN was all over that story from the get-go, even though the only official legal proceeding against Harrison was and is a civil suit.

And so we wonder whether ESPN will mention the latest development in the pending non-criminal case.

According to FOX 29 in Philly, the man who accused Harrison of shooting him has been shot again. Seven times.

The incident occurred earlier today as 33-year-old Dwight Dixon was leaving a Chinese restaurant. He is listed in critical condition.

Police are looking for the shooter; they reportedly believe that the incident might be related to another shooting that occurred over the weekend.

We assume that police also will attempt to rule out whether the shooting is related to the shooting that allegedly involved Harrison. After all, the civil case can never become a criminal case if the guy who claims he was shot by Harrison isn't able to testify at any criminal trial.

Obviously, we're not saying that Harrison was involved in either shooting. But the police wouldn't be doing their jobs properly if they didn't rule out anyone and everyone who might have a motive to put seven slugs into Dixon's body.

Bottom line? Someone saw fit to shoot Dixon seven times.

I'm not saying ESPN is racist, but it sure doesn't help their case when they pick and choose which civil case they report on when they use that as an excuse for not reporting on Ben R.

Makes you wonder what their agenda is.

how is it comical,when race does play a major role in everything.im saying espn should be all over this hell they thrive for poo like this but since its a civil case they aren't going to touch it is bs.hell i know kobe banged that girl just like ben banged this girl.

I realized a political figure wasn't exactly the right choice about the time I hit post, the right wing is going to attack the left no matter who's at the top and vice versa.

My point is in 2009 the race card in the media doesn't hold the water it did 10 years ago. We have many black hero's now, not everyone but most in my generation really don't see color... the biggest divide for me is the subculture, but that goes both ways.

why the fuck is espn not even reporting on this?talking to ryan grant, much more important

Their agenda is that ESPN is beginning to suck great big donkey balls. They no longer report the sports news.....they have slid almost as low as tabloid newspapers.

I am not defending ESPN...but I will take a shot at why they "MIGHT" not cover this.

A civil only suit....filed over a year after the alleged incident....sure smells alot like a gold digging attempt by the female. Again, I am not saying whether the allegation is true or not. However, the circumstances sure don't smell right from the get-go.
