Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall has received tons of criticism for his comments on twitter about September 11th and the death of of Osama bin Laden and rightfully so.
Mendenhall stirred up controversy with a conspiracy theory post about the attacks on the World Trade Center saying, “We’ll never know what really happened. I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style.”
He also posted a tweet about Osama bin Laden that questioned Americans’ celebrations over his death. “What kind of person celebrates death? It’s amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We’ve only heard one side…”
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review says that Mendenhall could not be reached to comment on his controversial tweets.
Another idiot football player given a forum to prove just how stupid he is. Their should be an IQ test before you can use Twitter. Complete and utter moron. If he’s so enamored with that lifestyle, give up your American Millions you make to play a child’s game and take your butt out into the hills of one of these God foresaken places.
There is nothing moronic about those tweets, although I dont think twitter is an appropriate forum to discuss these very complex issues. The tweet “we’ll never know what really happened” is not that controversial. I have read studies that indicate over 70% of Americans do not believe the explanation of the twin tower terrorist attacks presented in the 9/11 commission’s report, at least in its entirety.
As for the celebrating death; the people celebrating outside of the Whitehouse after the announcement of OBL’s death very closely resembled the reactions of terrorists and their sympathizers after the 9/11 attacks…
I do agree with your suggestion that there be an IQ test to post on the internet so people who allow others to do the thinking for them are not allowed to participate in the conversation.
i agree with him and wish more famous people let their true opinions known
SOO true Osama is not dead!! it’s all political game the election is in a year The President needed to do something big!! to get the American public off the birth certificate. We don’t even know Osama even really exists we based everything off what the government tells us and tapes of the man for all we know he could be made up who really knows? He did work for the CIA. The American government has a history of cover up and starting wars based on nothing.
its true people should have an opened mind about things and think things through instead of agreeing with what everyone else says step up and be a leader americas way of modern day communisim is happining and all these lazy fat white americans can’t see it or dont really care as long as there pockets are fat
Lazy fat white Americans? Here we go, I always find it funny how people can bring up the black white thing. And as far as that goes, look at the stats fooo most white folks are employed or at least they were before Obama gained office
The Intimidator will be heard on this subject later today… Be prepared…
@MGW, The Agenda – bafoons like you is why this country is going down.were suppose to be different and your wishing a mans death and celebrating about all you are missing is your white mask rascist bastard
@melissa94 –
Melissa94…couple of spelling corrections from the “bafoon”
*bafoon – actually spelled “baffoon”
*were – I guess you mean to say “we’re” as in “we are”
*rascist – actually spelled “racist”
Never said anywhere that I was “celebrating a man’s death”, far from it. Bin Laden confessed, even boasted, about these bombings and the deaths of 3,000 people in these bombings.
I hope your medication comes in today and you feel better later.
Maybe it was just one too many hits to the head.

Well, well, well… Where do I start??? Oh, but first let me say for you Anti-American, sensitive types… I am glad UBL got a blast in the face! Anyone who hurts one of my American brothers or sisters deserves a powder burn to the forehead!
Lets start with @Michael Ruiz… What freaking flotilla brought your anti-American ass here Ginga? You have no frame of reference here do you Dingo? You’re like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know what happened… Look Ginga, It’s like your inability to ride a bicycle, sooner or later you’re going to have to face the fact you’re a goddamn moron…
@Melissa94 – We are evil racist people because we want a terrorist dropped to the bottom of the sea and become fish food? Your dumbass talks about the innocent people and kids killed overseas, how about the innocent people that were killed here by these clowns?
Do you ever sit up and wonder what life would be like if you’d had enough oxygen at birth Missy?
You’re not very functional when your hopped up on the “Congo Compost” are you?
Word of advice Melissa94. Control the slobbering and wear a wig and no one will ever know you had a lobotomy… Now go away before MGW (The Agenda) and my fellow proud Americans continue taunting you!
@melissa94 –
I give up.
I appreciate your comments, thanks Rashard for speaking some truth. The house of cards is coming unglued for sure. I am sure there are many opinions such as yours in the sports arena–you just had the cajones to say it like it is. Kudos
