Civil Lawsuit Filed Against Ben Roethlisberger

[scpanther22]

yup...I did miss that point...ok

my point was though...the Kobe thing had and still has alot more negativity rolling with it than this has. In many many people's eyes, Kobe was and still is guilty!

for real..? i think Kobe has completely rebound from that..i dont see people bring that up anymore.

ask the people of Denver or watch a Laker/Nuggets game...I realize he gets booed everywhere he goes, but never as much as Denver.

I dunno if it's been mentioned yet, but the report is now an article on NFL.com

NFL.com and the NFL Network, as well as every network and AP source have been reporting it since yesterday. The thing that makes this story so weird is, why hasn't ESPN even acknowledged it yet?

[Mr. Scot]

ESPN.com actually has a story on it now, but it's an AP story and is presented with kind of an odd spin.

Authorities won't look at Roethlisberger

The headline and first paragraph make it sound like authorities aren't taking the charges seriously, when in reality the reason why there aren't criminal charges pending is that the accuser hasn't filed any :sosp:

Of course, since it's an AP story, it's not original content. Thus, still no word (at least not publicly) from anyone who actually works for ESPN.

This is really making them look bad.

Yea, ESPN is looking more like a fool for FINALLY reporting the story when it's become old news to everyone else.

And their reasoning is become more suspect.

They screwed up on this one. Still, the question of why they didn't report it become more obvious. Can't buy their "won't comment on civil suit" policy.

Too many facts show they will when it will help them.

They just need to bite it on this one and admit they were wrong, or no one will give a poo about anything they say.

Back in the day, credibility was everything for a news company.

Now, ESPN can actually get away with bullshit like this for the most part.

[DaCityKats]

:iagree:

[scpanther22]

does KT even post in the panthers fourm anymore..lol

[pstall]

ESPN delayed not because of their wacky so called rule or because Ben is white. Think about, doesn't ESPN WANT viewers? Trainwrecks=ratings.

Here is the reason and it ain't the NFL either.

The Rooney Rule.

It won't come out but he phoned ESPN to keep this on the dl as long as possible.

Yer gonna just have to trust me on this.

[pstall]
