"We will know never what actually happened." I just have it hard to believe that an airplane could take a down skyscraper demolition style.
The Steelers felt compelled to act. On Tuesday, the President of the Art Rooney II team issued a statement.
"I have not spoken with Rashard, therefore it is difficult to explain or even understand what he meant with his recent comments from Twitter." All of the Steelers organization is very proud of the work our members have made and we cannot that hope this leads to our troops coming home soon. ?
Mendenhall, who himself as a "conversationalist and professional athlete" profiles on his Twitter page, turned a few heads in March, in addition, when he took to support a comment by the Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson comparing the NFL to "modern slavery."
"Any person having knowledge of the slave trade and the NFL might say that these two Parallels eachother," Mendenhall posted at the time.
