The first tweets were what he wanted to say.

 

This response is what his "agent wanted him to say."

 

Well said. Perhaps it is what the Steelers wanted him to say. Or both. :lol:

Mendenhall actually provided a thoughful and articulate defense of his point on his blog today (from ESPN)-

 

 

"This controversial statement was something I said in response to the amount of joy I saw in the event of a murder. I don't believe that this is an issue of politics or American pride; but one of religion, morality, and human ethics," he wrote.

 

After quoting a bible verse, he wrote: "I wasn't questioning Bin Laden's evil acts. I believe that he will have to face God for what he has done. I was reflecting on our own hypocrisy. During 9/11 we watched in horror as parts of the world celebrated death on our soil. Earlier this week, parts of the world watched us in horror celebrating a man's death."

 

He apologized later in the posting and said he was just trying to "generate conversation."

 

"I apologize for the timing as such a sensitive matter, but it was not meant to do harm," he wrote. "I apologize to anyone I unintentionally harmed with anything that I said, or any hurtful interpretation that was made and put in my name.

 

"It was only meant to encourage anyone reading it to think."

 

 

Go back and read his time line before all that.

 

"Women are the most SELFISH creatures I know"

 

There was something else but I can't find it.
