Figures you'd like him. It's far more than being cheap. Like your idol, he's a major proponent of sexual assault and misogyny.
For all the crap (deserved) about Antonio Brown, wife and I were at a restaurant for Thanksgiving a few years ago while AB was there with family and friends. Couldn't have been nicer to everyone and apparently tipped well.
Another Steeler story... when wife worked downtown she leased a spot in a small parking lot. One night she found herself blocked in by a big black SUV. She went to complain and the car's owner overheard her. At first she was a bit afraid as a tall black man in leather and bling was coming towards her, but then he said, "I'm sorry, am I blocking you in? Please, let me move my car and sorry for the inconvenience." That was Plaxico Burress, who once shot himself by accident in a bar.
Ben was a world-class creep and likely would've told my wife to fff off after commenting on her breast size.
