Even after the Accident, it sounds like Big Ben is a Big Idiot

Roethlisberger was cited for not wearing a helmet when the accident happened.
“That day I wasn’t, I forgot it. I literally forgot it,” he said. “You know there are times that, people that have been making a big deal for the last couple years about me riding first of all, and then me riding without a helmet, but it’s one of those things that I ride with a helmet also. I do a little bit of both. If you don’t wear a seat belt every time you ride in the car should I label you as a person who doesn’t wear a seat belt? And unfortunately I happened to not have it on that day because I forgot it in the basement.”
It’s not like that Ben, old boy. The whole point is that you don’t anticipate an accident. It’s not “Gee, I don’t feel like it today, and no one should blame me for that.” It’s more like, “You wear a seatbelt in a car and a helmet on any sort of bike every time you go out, or you don’t go out at all. Period.” As a public figure, I think he should take what he says a little more seriously. What a shit example he’s becoming.
You know what:
“If you don’t wear a seat belt every time you ride in the car should I label you as a person who doesn’t wear a seat belt?”
My answer to that is, YES.
“Hi, my name is Ben Roethilisberger and I’m a complete idiot.”
