I Feel Bad For Shaun Rogers

As soon as Shaun Rogers was busted for carrying a gun through airport security people couldn't wait to get on the internet and start trashing him in discussion forums and in the comments section of every article that was written about him. Most of these commentators used words like "idiot" and "stupid" and their sentiments basically were lock the guy up and or give him an indefinite suspension. Here's a news flash sports fans - there is a good percentage of you out there that are racist sons of bitches, in nearly every article I read there were multiple comments that used the N word and were comments that were derogatory toward Shaun because of his race. It was really quite alarming and sad. It goes without saying that none of you racist bastards would dare say anything to Shaun's face because he would stomp you into the ground in a matter of seconds. I don't know where all you racists are from and why you feel it necessary to anonymously be racist on the internet - does it make you feel like a tough guy or a badass? Or do you really just hate people based on the color of their skin? Either way it is weird and backwards.
Now, I don't feel bad for Shaun because he is being assailed by internet tough guys, he is a big boy (literally) and rich as hell and doesn't give a damn about what people say on the internet about him. I feel bad that he lives his life needing a gun to feel safe. Carrying a gun is obviously something that is very routine to him, so routine in fact that he accidentally left one in a bag that he used as luggage. Do you think Shaun was gonna hi-jack the plane, I mean get real? What Shaun did was stupid but it was just a mistake, nothing more, nothing less. I hope the NFL let's Shaun continue to play and doesn't over react to this slight transgression, his ability to make a living should not be taken away from him. As for you racist dip shits out there I hope your all of your daughters grow up to be meth addicted whore's.

How in the world is an article like this allowed to be up on SBN? I understand your frustration with racists…but really:
As for you racist dip shits out there I hope your all of your daughters grow up to be meth addicted whore’s.Do me a favor next time. Do not link my team when you write more trash and I won’t have to waste my time reading it.
The guy carried a loaded weapon into an airport. Black, white, Green, Yellow…I don’t care. You should get in some serious trouble for that.

I should have written "…I hope all your daughter’s grow up to be meth addicted whores."

i have sympathy for you. you are obviously a browns fan. no super bowl wins.
close to 50 years of frustration. i think the media is going after that pervert ben rothlisberger. he now has to see the commissioner. i see a suspension coming. ben r. is white right? i tell you something else about big ben. he got two people fired at sammy hagar’s old restaurant in lake tahoe (inside harvey’s casino)when he was at the celebrity golf tournament they have once a year here . the waitress dared asked one of ben r’s hoes can i see your id. that pissed ben off so he went to the owner of harvey’s casino in lake tahoe and got two people fired. how do i know this. because i live here and know somebody who works there. ben r. going down alot faster than mr. rogers. peace.

I guess not linking to your team is one way to solve the problem...
or you could just cover your eyes when it gets to the salty language….is this your first day on the internet? Unless you are 9 years old, you need to grow up. I’ve heard worse language coming out of Teddy Ruxpin.
Plus, I think you might be missing the author’s obvious attempt at satire…by ending his column with something as crude as the racist comments he is crusading against…you have clearly missed the point in more ways than one. Despite the “vulgairty” this is actually a pointed critique of the hateful things people say in anonymity on the internet. But I guess you are right, he should have sanitized the post and wrote an article about how Albert Pujols is good at baseball.
You believe this is a good article? I think articles like this might explain the low amount of traffic generated by this SBN blog. Maybe that poll will reach 20 votes some day and the majority of posts on this blog won’t go uncommented. Or you can just continue to write at a high school maturity and pretend it has some value, and your blog will continue to garner its low amount of readers.

Never said the article was particularly good...
only that the point of the article went over your head. And…sorry to say, if your biggest goal in life is to collect checks from SBN for $1.25 and to rack up votes and comments from people stopping by while they are waiting for their youporn videos to load, then congrats, you have arrived.
The dude posted an opinion article, and the only offensive thing that has transpired is you (a blogger, no less) suggested that the opinion should not be allowed, and should not be disseminated. Disagree with the opinions expressed all you want, but do you realized the irony and unmitigated silliness of a blogger calling for censorship?
It didn’t go over my head. You are just trying to make it something it was not. It was a crass article that sounded like an angry high school child wrote. You are trying to turn it into some allusion of creative writing that had a deep meaning, which it did not. I’d describe it as “crap” if I had to use the author’s dialect.
Anyway, the majority of your points are so ridiculously over the top. You exaggerate like you too are a person below the age of 18. When did I say it was my biggest goal in life to live off of a check from this website? No, far from it. However, I do take pride in writing for one of the biggest Steelers blogs. Moreover, I take pride in the things I do and do not put out worthless drivel like the two articles I have read so far on this site.
If you indeed do not care about who reads your blog, then why write? That seems like a colossal waste of time. Maybe you should just stick to your youporn videos and stop linking the Steelers in your poorly written junk.

Johnny...
Can we please bury the hatchet? I wrote what i thought was a somewhat poignant and funny article – obviously you didnt think that it was humorous and for that I am sorry. Here is a personal Daily Six Pack for you.

2. Quit being such a nerd
3. Lose your virginity
4. Move out of your parents house
5 Get a sense of humor

Sass and sarcasm PSTIM? Listen, that stuff may fly in your frathouse or during lunch down at the factory…but NOT ON THE INTERNET. If there is one sanctuary of decorum in this world it’s got to be sports blogs on the internet. If you have any decency, you will forever refrain from linking ANY articles to the Pittsburgh Steelers, or any any other topic that might come across Johnny’s screen…because that’s how the internet works…you can say whatever you want, until one person from a fanbase tells you not to…then it’s game over. The Steel Curtain is closed for you where the internet is concerned.
the stuff about ben rothlisberger is 100 % correct sir. i live in lake tahoe.
along with his crash into i think a older womens car. along with his tryst that turned bad in lake tahoe and what he has going down in georgia. roger goddell said on espn there is a meeting with ben in the future. i think he is going to be read the riot act. the guy has had four chances.

Either way
the author’s not denying that Rogers should get in trouble. He definitely will and should legally, he’s just saying this isn’t a case of a guy going out to a club with a gun and popping shots outside or something. He had a gun with him forgot it was in the bag and also produced documentation that allows him to carry a concealed weapon. He also readily apologized for his mistake. There just doesn’t need to be a big deal made out of this, but because he happens to be black this guy’s been getting blasted on the internet.
Also if you doubt there’s some kind of racist element to this stuff check out the comments for the Joey Porter incident last week. People are ripping the guy even after he claimed the police officer acted inappropriately and then was vindicated when charges were dropped an and investigation on improper conduct by the officer began.
One day the Knicks are going to turn it around. Right?

This just got blown out of proprtion
Last time I checked in America you have gun, unless you live in D.C. or NYC and he lives in neither so I think he can have a gun.

I voted for suspension
just because of the way that Goodell has reacted to other incidents relating to gun possession. I think the suspension should only be for 1 game though.

Yeah
I can understand that. Look realistically Goodell’s probably going to suspend the guy, but there’s no need for it be excessive. There was no intent to commit any kind of crime or anything along those lines and I hope that Goodell recognizes that.

Yeah I agree
the precedent calls for a suspension but IMO it wasn’t a big deal. Have him sit out the opening game and call it a day.

Whatever the recent precedent is, I am fine with...
I remeber Barry Switzer doing something like this years ago…but I don’t recall what, if anything came of it. It seems like every few years someone famous gets caught at the airport with a gun. I remember hearing the “forgot it was in my bag” excuse and thinking it was BS…but now, that sounds a lot more reasonable then someone actually thinking they are just gonna sneak a gun through an airport.
that happened at the dallas airport and he was the coach of the cowboys then. i believe he got a pass
plus it was way before 9/11 so they were lenient with him.

When you bring a fully loaded gun to the airport
Moron, Idiot, and other harsh words all DO apply to that person.
I won’t advocate racist words. Never a time for that
I don’t know where all you racists are from and why you feel it necessary to anonymously be racist on the internet – does it make you feel like a tough guy or a badass? Or do you really just hate people based on the color of their skin? Either way it is weird and backwards.

He made a mistake
Yea it was a big one but nobody is stupid enough to intentionally try to take a loaded gun thru airport security. Just as an example I would suspend him for a game just to drive home the point but Rogers is not guilty of being anything but forgetful at a bad time. I don’t carry a loaded gun and I don’t understand why he feels the need to but he has the right as long as he does it legally. Fine him, suspend him for a game and forget it and lets play ball.

You feel bad for Shaun Rogers?
Because he has to carry a gun to feel safe? How do you know that? Could it be that he might like to intimidate people with his gun? Hell, we don’t know, do we? You stated that he is a big “boy”. Was that a racist statement on your part? He’s rich as hell? Why would he have to be afraid if he can afford to live wherever he chooses? Might that be because he likes to bang around a little bit himself? Is that behaviour a little more prevalent among African Americans? On the socio-economic scale, he has succeeded in a racist society and can easily place himself above all the rough and tumble antics of trashy people. Has he? I don’t know. Neither do you. You hope other people’s daughters turn out to be……whatever? And I suppose you know why only white people can be racist. Have you ever been on a plane? Do you want the security people to say “damn man, that just be Shaun” when you are flying? You are obviously such a worldly and sophisticated writer that I will hate myself for calling you a dumb fuck but I suppose that’s something I will have to live with.
