As sporting teams, fans and athletes across America Monday celebrated the news Osama bin Laden had been killed, Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall was raising eyebrows with his views on the terror leader.
Through various posts on his Twitter account, Mendenhall questioned the widespread reaction of joy at bin Laden’s demise, while also expressing his doubts as to whether the public really knew the truth about 9/11.
“What kind of person celebrates death? It’s amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We’ve only heard one side,” Mendenhall wrote, before adding his view on the Twin Towers attack.
“We’ll never know what really happened. I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style.”
Mendenhall has caused controversy via his Twitter account in the past, agreeing with Vikings’ running backAdrian Peterson’s comment that compared the NFL labor situation to slavery in the lead up to the lockout.
Speaking from the White House on Sunday, President Barack Obama confirmed bin Laden had been killed in a firefight during a US raid on a compound in Pakistan.
“I can report to the American people and to the world, that the US has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden,” the US commander-in-chief said.
The news was immediately hailed by world leaders, including British Prime Minister David Cameron, while jubilant crowds took to the streets in Washington, D.C. and New York.

Whoever he is he’s entitled 2 his opinion. Me, I think he sounds like a complete douche & moron! This man was the mastermind of 1 of the most pain stricken acts on American soil. Let’s see if there was someone that he loved in the towers if he would be singing the “Short Bus Song”. In my Chapelle voice “Its a Celebration B****es”! Closure for the families who are raising children on their own or w/someone else b/c the parent was violently taken away, the parent that will never be able to hug his/her child, see their smile, or even hear their voice. Stick 2 playing fBall 2 many hard tackles must have knocked some brain cells loose…
bin laden was just the face US put it on. it was really Bush. Loose Change. watch that shit!!!
This tye person really has no clue what he is talking bout look at the innocent ppl that died in the countries the US have occupied why can’t some ppl just stop hating on everyone and just respect other religions,believes and ways of life. Anyone that takes a life no matter what the intention has a bad sole. So in all honesty I think both sides off this war was wrong. Osama Bin Laden and the US government. For killing so many innocent ppl. WAR and NATIONAL PRIDE in a war is stupid. PEACE IS THE ANSWER.
