Other than Brown himself, who is the intended audience of this so-called “smack”?

Well, him getting arrested for being a dead beat dad is just another prime example of the high character the Steelers organization looks for in players.

If this were us, there would be media coverage all over it claiming how our organization is so trashy but, since it's the beloved Steelers, it's just players being players and it has nothing to do with their organization, just like having a known rapist be the face of their franchise.

That day has come and gone. Now it's because the Steelers are irrelevant and no one cares.

This is Smack Talk, not Butt Hurt Chronicles.

I'm not butt hurt, I'm just curious how people can cheer for a franchise that's below the scum of the earth. 

To each their own, I guess.

And the thing is their fans still act like they're God's gift to football and that they're better than the rest of the world!

Yeah, now it’s your guys’ turn to start acting like assholes.  

Well, as soon as you’re out of last place, that is.

So you admit you’re assholes?

We will never be assholes and the face of our franchise will never rape multiple women, and, in the hypothetical (yet impossible) case that he would, our franchise and fans wouldn’t continue to support him.

Here’s the thing, Brad.  I don’t believe you would support a player who was a known rapist.  But I 100% believe that, in the absence of a conviction, you would take an accused Bengal player’s side (and believe their story).  

And you know you would.

The mental gymnastics that he does to excuse Pac Woman hitting a female is a thing of beauty. Makes Simone Biles jealous.

One more arrest and the Bengals are going to sign AB to a one day deal so that he can retire a Bengal and be instantly placed in their Ring of (dis)Honor.

Here's the thing. There was NO LACK OF EVIDENCE, unless you ignore common sense.

There was some of that, sure.  But it was pretty much all testimonial and not the slam dunk evidence of a DNA test or a video of the proceedings.  Would it have been enough to convict in a trial?  Maybe, maybe not.  We’ll never know for sure.  

But speaking of evidence, your evasion of my point is evidence that it is valid:  You would absolutely defend an accused Bengal player in the absence of a conviction, and you know it.

False. 

Not in an instant of rape, and not when it's obvious what happened, regardless of whether it can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.

You have yet to answer why his body guards would have to lead a girl into a bathroom that was willing and why his bodyguards would need to guard the door.

Explain how that's not evidence to anyone with a reasonably functional brain. 

However, in terms of legality, it does cast a shadow of a doubt, but not in terms of common sense.

That’s circumstantial evidence.  Rather than direct proof, it requires that you infer a conclusion.  You can’t conceive of another conclusion because you don’t want to.  But another explanation is in fact possible.  If Roethlisberger’s associates were under the impression that she was actually seeking intimacy (and let’s not forget she was wearing a ‘DTF’ tag), both the escorting and the guarding could have been intended as finding (and protecting) a private place.  Consensual lovers want privacy just as much as rapists, no?  That’s common sense, too, isn’t it? 

I’m not trying to say that’s definitely what happened, only that it’s more possible than you seem to think.  And I’m very confident that you’d be way more willing to consider that possibility had a Bengal player been involved.  

Speaking of that, you’ve had two chances now to deny that you’d support an accused Bengal player in the absence of a conviction, and both times you went back to a whataboutism.  Can we just agree that I’m right about that now?
