Ben Roethlisberger in Switzerland

In May 2006 the American football star Ben Roethlisberger and his family travelled to Switzerland at the invitation of the organisers of the Swiss Roots campaign in the United States. One of the highlights was a visit to the Emmental hamlet where Ben's great-great-grandfather grew up. (swissinfo)

Switzerland is indeed a beautiful country. I have Swiss parents, though I was born in New York.

@5149caper Bradshaw is a fucking retard He just mad because by the end of Bens career he wont be the steelers best qb of all time. Ben is a nice guy you probly never met him and he's been accused twice Both times the girl has been lying trying to get his money. Did you notice no one ever had a problem with him until he signed the 106 million dollar contract? People are just jealous of him and people like you are just hypocrits who say they wont root for him but then first td he throws u love him

[5149caper]

@DwightWhite78 yeah, because this was the only time he was accussed of shit like this. He's a douche, allways has been and now he has douche fans..........like you. The guys acts like a 16 year old. When Bradshaw says your a douche...........your a douche.

[DwightWhite78]

@5149caper Your a peice of shit, He was accused not convicted you faggot. The girl was 20 and had a fake ID that claimed she was 22, She followed Ben from bar to bar, she had a shirt that read DTF (down to fuck), and then she went into the bathroom with him. Then she said Ben raped her while she sat on the toilet, and that neither one of them had their jeans or underwear off, now Ben is 6'5" 250 lbs., how the hell could he possibly do that? Hopefully you and that hoe rot in hell. ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!

Take of the nike hat and the air jordan jacket you corporate whore

@esemdi90 Nope. I'm very ethnically similar to Ben Roethlisberger on my father's side. They're all descended from Mennonite Swiss immigrants. I was born very close to Ben's home town of Findlay Ohio. I can remember visiting that town when I was young very clearly. Now have an idea how African people seeking some kind of lost ethnic integrity might feel about Kobe Bryant, Mike Tyson, and various embarasments.

@spiralcosmosart muahahaha you've never been in switzerland right?

[spiralcosmosart]

It boggles the mind how someone with such beautiful heritage and strong ethnic traditions welcome and privilaged to vaction in such a beautiful ancestral homeland could disgrace his ancestors by being involved in the kind of sexual scandal alleged against him. I really hope Ben is innocent.

"By the way, where are the drunk Swiss girls? I'm lookin' to assault somebody tonight!" This guy is a piece of shit.
