Former Steeler Rashard Mendenhall takes to Twitter with yet another tirade!
Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall is picking up a lot of attention in a hurry after calling for a segregated ‘All-Black vs. All-White’ Pro Bowl and saying that whites are ‘not even good at football.’
Rashard Mendenhall retired from the NFL after the 2013 season. He won Super Bowl XLIII with the Steelers in his rookie season but played a crucial role in the Steelers losing Super Bowl XLV to Aaron Rodgers and the Packers after a 4th quarter fumble, something Mendenhall was reminded of on social media after calling for a segregated Pro Bowl.
Few former Pittsburgh Steelers do less for themselves in the eyes of fans than former running back Rashard Mendenhall. The grudge he carries for his former team, especially his former quarterback and the fans is heavy and seems to take over his personality at times.
Mendenhall's latest Twitter rant centers on the discontent Steelers fans have with head coach Mike Tomlin and his ongoing hatred for former Steelers quarterback and future Hall of Famer Ben Roethlisberger.
Mendenhall seems to think the reason the Steelers didn't win in the playoffs was because of Roethlisberger and nothing else but this level of pettiness is nothing new for him. And to make it about black and white is a new low for him.
Mendenhall has a somewhat successful NFL career after a stellar career at the University of Illinois. I'm sure there are many topics related to football and life he would be highly qualified to talk about.
But unfortunately, he fumbled this one.
