Big Ben, Serial Rapist?

For the second time in two off-seasons, Ben Rothlisberger, starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, is being accused of sexually assaulting a woman.

So, let me get this straight: Tiger has consensual, adult sex with several women.  He loses multiple sponsors and is forced to apologize (although to some, even his apology wasn't good enough).  Kobe has consensual, adult sex with one woman.  He lost sponsors (for a short time) and is constantly criticized by many for his unfaithful act.  Oh, but Big "where there's smoke, there's fire" Ben is accused for the second time of sexually assaulting someone.  This time, with a woman who's not yet old enough to legally drink.  Not one sponsor has released him.  In fact, ESPN showed a Big Ben commercial just tonight!  Speaking of the network... ESPN barely reported the story last year, and hesitantly reported on it this year.

Nope.  No such thing as a double standard.
