Former NFL running back Rashard Mendenhall was asked what would make Antonio Brown quit on the Steelers. He responded by saying Ben Roethlisberger was a racist and Brown “had to catch balls from a racist quarterback.”
Alright, I’ll end the mystery… B’s racist and @AB84’s black. He had to catch balls from a racist quarterback. Every honest player knows it, it’s not a big deal. He was just supposed to take his lickings and move on, like a slave for real. https://t.co/ubI39UDauY

A few hours later, Mendenhall sent out another tweet that backtracked on his original early morning “Ben is a racist” tweet. He said Ben’s not a racist and AB isn’t a dirtbag.
Clearly it’s no fun, when EVERYONE’s the accused…
Please allow the dialogue in sports to be equal. Why’s it so easy to shoot at one player, but not the other?
B’s not racist. Just like AB’s not a dirtbag.#letsbefair

What happened in those three hours that made Roethlisberger no longer a racist? Mendenhall must have realized that he had no evidence whatsoever to prove the Steelers quarterback was a racist.
There seems to be plenty of evidence however that Brown is a dirtbag.
