Ben Roethlisberger won’t do public safety announcements for helmets
Ben Roethlisberger doesn’t plan on doing public safety announcements for motorcycle or helmet safety following his accident last month.
“I don’t think that’s my place,” the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback said in a taped interview aired Friday on ABC’s Good Morning America.
“Some people feel that, you know, I probably should be doing that and being a big advocate for that,” Roethlisberger said from Los Angeles. “But for me, I’m going to let people make their own decisions … So I don’t think you’ll see me doing any kind of billboards or advertisements.”
Was anyone really expecting him to do this? If someone has a macho complex so great that they will refuse to wear a helmet while riding a motorcycle down a highway - without a license, no less - why would they wuss out and record a PSA?
Of course had this injury been career-ending, we’d bet that Ben couldn’t get the PSAs recorded fast enough, in between wheeling his motorized wheelchair inbetween spinal cord research fundraisers, drinking his dinner through a straw.
