Ben Roethlisberger says he will not join Team Trump, well at least not publicly despite Donald’s insistence that the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback is “with us 100 percent.”
Trump has a tendency to say certain athletes are totally in support of him but they know the public outcry that comes from their support of Trump and tend not to quite say they’re voting for him in public.
While at a rally in Pittsburgh on Saturday, Trump said Roethlisberger was among a number of sports stars who supported his campaign and hoped #7 would join him at the Republican National Convention in July.
But Big Ben says it ain’t gonna happen, telling Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he will neither endorse nor speak on behalf of Trump because “politics are not his thing.”
Ben did acknowledge Trump is an “acquaintance,” they’ve golfed together and spoken several times over the years.
