So, earlier this offseason Steelers linebacker James Harrison got arrested for roughing up his girlfriend. Not much longer after that his team mate Cedrick Wilson was also arrested for domestic violence. Wilson was eventually fired from the team, but Harrison was not.

I’m sure you can understand why, Harrison is a star linebacker and Wilson is just a 3rd string receiver. It’s an accepted truth in professional sports that stars get away with bad behavior due to their talents. However, when questioned about this from reporters, team chairman Dan Rooney said Harrison had a good reason to pimp slap his broad.

“I know many are asking the question of [why] we released Wilson and Harrison we kept,” he said. “The circumstances — I know of the incidents, they are completely different. In fact, when I say we don’t condone these things, we don’t, but we do have to look at the circumstances that are involved with other players and things like that, so they’re not all the same.”

In Mr. Harrison’s case, Mr. Rooney said the player was trying to take his son to be baptized.

“What Jimmy Harrison was doing and how the incident occurred, what he was trying to do was really well worth it,” he said of Mr. Harrison’s initial intent with his son. “He was doing something that was good, wanted to take his son to get baptized where he lived and things like that. She said she didn’t want to do it.”

LOL. It’s amazing what people will condone in the name of religion. **coughcough9/11.Iraq.etc.coughcough**
