I was listening to the radio the other day and I heard Dan Leb
retard try to draw a comparison between Rice's case and Big Ben's prior suspension. Now he wasn't the first, nor will he be the last to draw a parallel between the two. But his was without a doubt the stupidest one. By his account Rice's suspension was justified, because if rape gets you 6 games well it only stands to reason that spousal assault would only get you two.
And this my friends is why I'll never drop the torch in defending Ben. Because this idiot is far from alone in this stance. And more to the point, Goodell's actions did what the DA's office in Georgia couldn't do and forever tarred Ben guilty ( as never charged) You see what Lebretard and Goodell both did is they prosecuted a man absent of facts.
You see here's the difference between Rice's case and Ben's. In Rice's case it's indisputable a crime indeed took place. He took a plea, which means he did in fact admit to said crime. (not that he could deny it). His record can be expunged if he meets certain criteria over time.
Ben's" record" wont be however, because Ben's "record" doesn't exist anywhere except in the imagination of Flametard and Herr Commissioner and morons of similar thinking.
Ben's the only person in the history of sports who was punished for a totally unsupported and unsubstantiated allegation.
And every time for the history of being in sports that someone commits an act worthy of suspension Ben will forever be dragged to the fray because of that asshole Goodell.
I hope there comes a day when Ben lets loose with both barrels ( figuratively speaking) and calls that asshole out.
