Crowd Taunts Roethlisberger With “She Said No!” Chant During NFL Draft

» 7 comments

During last night’s NFL draft, when commissioner Roger Goodell stepped to the podium to announce the Pittsburgh Steelers’ pick, he was serenaded with chants of “She said no!”

Fortunately for the NFL commissioner, the chants weren’t directed at him.

Instead, they were for Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who was recently accused of sexual assault in a Georgia nightclub, and was suspended by Goodell this week for violating the NFL’s conduct policy.

Making the situation more awkward was the fact that the commissioner brought up a young boy from the Make-a-Wish foundation to announce the pick. Thankfully, the chants stopped once the boy got up to the microphone. Video below:

    Good! maybe the NFL will finally do something about this “thug” ridden sport.

    BTW, King, I hope that comment wasn’t racist.

    LMAO

    “Crowd” = Eagles fans. In other words, the most obnoxious sports fan in the entire country. Well, outside of Oakland, anyway.

    You take a bunch of knuckle dragging Criminals. Pump them full of steroids and pep pills. Put them out on the field and demand they cripple each other. Then you want them to act “sane” off the field? The one thing I will never understand about this barbaric sport, are the actual Beer fed Foul mouthed fans that worships them as if they were kings. Sad, so sad…

    What the hell is the NFL supposed to do, Munch? Assign minders 24/7 to make sure players don’t get into troubles in the off season at bars 24/7?

    Or would you prefer they hire meek accounts who never go out or live a “thug” lifestyle (whatever that means) black or white?

    The truth is people get into trouble. Especially young men. They even commit crimes. Sample 1000 25 year old guys that in the NFL and then 1000 outside the NFL and you’ll probably find that the NFL players have less incidents of crimes/violence than a random sample from any big city in the US.

    meek accountants, I meant.

    Yeah Munch! Get it straight! So what if a sports personality say…… gets arrested at least three times for battery, and once for assault. Fathers at least five children with four women. Has his wife file a restraining order after he threatened to kill her. Has a 17-year-old foster child who was living in the care of a relative accuse him of impregnating her. When the girl confronted the person, he allegedly got angry and threw a bottle of Gatorade at her.

    Hell! He’s a sports guy! Nobody said he was a role model!

    Oh, SFTH. A team tried 24/7 minders.

    ” When Elijah Dukes was traded to the Nationals, the team also hired an ex-police officer in the role of “Special Assistant: Player Concerns”. This person accompanies Dukes everywhere to ensure that he keeps himself free of trouble.”

    Dukes was released by the Nationals on March 17, 2010.

    I’m shocked! Could the Nationals be racists? Or are teams starting to look out for their image these days? It’s this simple. If you put up with clowns ( Roethlisberger, Dukes, etc.) on your team, it turns into a Circus.
