in the butt
the only reason anyone would sanction the attorney who sued the steelers QB would be b/c he is the steelers QB.
everyday in the USA a black man is falsely accused and it is no big deal.
also, if the charges were so frivolous, then why did the QB spend a reported 1.3 million defending them?
I can't wait to see what bullshit stories ATL digs up today.

Are you really as stupid as your question suggests?

Not even a mention of yesterday's NY Court of Appeals decision?
Guys in my high school used to falsely accuse black men all the time, it was no big deal.
Black people are hard to see at night if they are naked.

This one goes to eleven.
I was watching reruns of the show Las Vegas the other day on TNT. Roethisberger's attorneys should do what Ed Deline did to the guy who wanted to sue the Montecito when an employee was tramautized by Ed beating up Mike Cannon in the bathroom. Offer the guy $10,000 cash if he fires his attorney.
4- Bravo and holla back- Let's just keep forcing as many needless race isuses into this as possible- Big Ben's lawyer is black too. So is his coach. So was Jerome Bettis. You know they called Bettis "the bus?" There are black buses. I would not ride on a black bus, but my aunt did once, and she met black people. She had the black people over for dinner and they told her about this frivilous lawsuit that someone filed against their son. My aunt felt sorry for them, because she knew they were black and couldn't afford a lawyer. My aunt did not help them get a lawyer though, because she is white, and everyday in America millions of white people do bad and racist things to black people because white people are bad and racist. And then my aunt kicked the black people out of her house, watched an episode of the 700 Club, and went to bed.
Read my lips. No new taxes for 95% of working families. Just lots of mandatory fees and penalties.
