Rashard Mendenhall: 9/11 Truther

[Bosozoku]

Rashard Mendenhall of the Steelers has stepped into the fray, asking us to please consider Osama bin Laden's side in this and also questioning how a "plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style."

All I can say is that it feels good to be a Browns fan today.

Ok that's it I'm not drafting him this year in Fantasy Football.

 

[Pinch]

Proof positive of the medical dangers of playing football without a helmet, which is what this idiot must have done. Any team this moron plays for is on my "I hope they lose" list.

 

[The Big Dog]

He also said:

"Anyone with knowledge of the slave trade and the NFL could say that these two parallel each other."

Somebody take away this douchebag's Twitter account...

The Steelers? Been on my list for decades.

I liked how he said, "There is not an ignorant bone in my body".

True...the brain is not a bone.

With a major of sports management he has failed on two fronts. He has no clue a plane with 1300 to 2000 pounds of TNT Kinetic energy and 10,000 gallons of jet fuel setting fire to multiple floors and disabling the fires system can destroy a building; he should have taken physics and engineering if he wants to be a world expert on fire, impacts and gravity collapse. Next! sports management, how it world are you dumb enough to say something so stupid and your major is sports management, does that include marketing yourself.



Wow, some fans are upset...

To any and all idiots who say “there are questions to what happened that day” and are alluding to conspiracies, you are as dumb as Mendenhall. I am a Steeler fan, and I hope they cut this worthless idiot. I wish he spent 6 months in Afghanistan and would come back and tell “his side”.

 

[ElMondoHummus]

Yeah, I saw that yesterday night. The fans were already tearing him a new one over it. Plus a couple of people who commented there before I did who actually knew a tiny bit about 9/11 already and took him to task.

The world is righted after all. And it took a sports forum's comments section to give me new faith. Whoda thunk?

 

[The Charnel Expanse]

Pro athletes aren't exactly paragons of critical thinking and sound logic.

I liked how he said, "There is not an ignorant bone in my body".

True...the brain is not a bone.

"There is not an ignorant bone in my body. I just encourage you to think."

Too bad he failed to let his bones do the thinking, he would be ahead on this issue. Does this kid have money? He could hire people to do the critical thinking.

I'm not exactly sure how many yards, but whatever my role is, I plan on having success.

Dude, apply this to your life, not only football.

Let your bones do the talking next time Rashard!​

Most people see 911 truthers as people who have crazy ideas on 911, disrespectful punks who can't think for themselves. But they are polite and ignore them.
This poor guy made a mistake and repeated delusions. Will he fight back and go nuts? How do you recover? Will his sports management degree kick in and find a solution to make his life live up to his creed?

... , I plan on having success.

"Truthers" are slowly but surely being pushed into conspiracy friendly only sites. A few years ago they invaded a couple RC airplane sites I frequent. It wasn't long before the only response they got was "**** you truthtard". The turning point was when Craig's List "Rants and Raves" wouldn't put up with them. Their days of hijacking forums is over.

"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 ..."

"We love death. The U.S. loves life. That is the big difference between us." -- Osama Bin Laden

“Three months after our blessed attack against the main infidel West, especially America, and two months after the infidel's attacks on Islam, we would like to talk about some of the implications of those incidents”

 

[The Big Dog]

Rashard:

UBL: (...Inaudible...) we calculated in advance the number of casualties from the enemy, who would be killed based on the position of the tower. We calculated that the floors that would be hit would be three or four floors. I was the most optimistic of them all. (...Inaudible...) due to my experience in this field, I was thinking that the fire from the gas in the plane would melt the iron structure of the building and collapse the area where the plane hit and all the floors above it only. This is all that we had hoped for.

Shaykh: Allah be praised.

UBL: We were at (...inaudible...) when the event took place. We had notification since the previous Thursday that the event would take place that day. We had finished our work that day and had the radio on. It was 5:30 p.m. our time. I was sitting with Dr. Ahmad Abu-al-((Khair)). Immediately, we heard the news that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. We turned the radio station to the news from Washington. The news continued and no mention of the attack until the end. At the end of the newscast, they reported that a plane just hit the World Trade Center.

Shaykh: Allah be praised.

UBL: After a little while, they announced that another plane had hit the World Trade Center. The brothers who heard the news were overjoyed by it.

I guess this means his college ought to be embarrassed and after looking up where he want to college the lucky/unlucky winner is the University of Illinois. He probably thinks Colonel Henry Blake's helicopter was shot down by US warplanes too. (The only reason I added that was because Henry Blake went to the U of Illinois too.)

The minute the NFL lockout is done, you can bet the Steelers will try to unload Mendenhall on any team desperate enough to want him,although the fan reaction to any team bringing him on board means the Steelers might be stuck with him unless they out and out fire him.

I currently live and work outside of Pittsburgh. One of our local radio sports commentators is pretty livid about this (although he's always an overly-abrasive guy from what I can tell). I wasn't pay much attention, but I got the impression that there were one or two people that called in today to defend Mendenhall in some way.

Embarrassing.

I assume you're referring to Mark Madden's show ("overly-abrasive" is one way of describing him). After just reading this thread, I was curious as to what he would have to say about the situation.

That'd be him. Like I said, I wasn't paying much attention, but I think he called Mendenhall's Osama tweet "treasonous". It was immensely stupid, for sure, but I don't know if I would go as far as calling it treason. That man's head would explode if he could read what we read here every day...

Yeah, "treasonous" might be a bit much. "Stupid", "moronic", etc., I could certainly agree with. Someone (his agent or a family member) needs to keep Mendenhall away from Twitter, and maybe remind him that he is paid to run around with a football, not pretend he knows something about structural engineering.
