What's a Steelerfan Mommy to do?
If you know us or have read this blog for any amount of time, you know we are really big Steelers fans. You would also not fail to notice that Myles is frequently in a Ben Roethlisberger jersey or T-shirt. He has somewhere between five and seven of them. I really lose count.
Now we have a problem. In case you hadn't read the news, Ben is suddenly in the news and not having anything to do with football. Not being in the US, Myles can wear his Big Ben jerseys around our area probably without comment. He has no idea about the Ben-Harrah's story. Perhaps if we were to go into the areas of Beijing where we would encounter more Americans, there might be an occasion for someone to mention something. So maybe if he needs to show his Pittsburgh pride (really, you have no idea how much he loooooves to tell other Americans we are from Pittsburgh) he can wear just a plain Steelers shirt or his new favorite Malkin shirt.
But the bigger issue, of course, will be if the accusations prove to be true. As a Steelers fan, and especiallyas a Big Ben fan, of course, it is really hard to believe that Mr. "Play for Jesus" is the same man named in the lawsuit. However if it does turn out to be true, what are parents going to do with all those Ben t-shirts and jerseys? How is anyone else handling this?

Let's just pray the allegations are untrue. That's how I'll be praying anyway!
Anyway, we're hanging on to the hope that he's still an upstanding young manf and that this is just someone's sick idea of earning a few bucks. We'll see....
