Rashard Mendenhall

Another famous Chicago athlete was victimized early Monday morning.

Pittsburgh Steelers first-round draft choice Rashard Mendenhall was robbed at gunpoint while walking along the city’s lakefront, his agent and mother said. The former Illinois running back was with another companion along the South Side walkway when he was robbed of his wallet, phone and cash, sources familiar with the investigation told the Chicago Sun-Times.

Reports said the two alleged perpetrators wore black hoodies and ski masks.
Police spokesman John Mirabelli said a man and a woman were robbed at the lakefront around 2 a.m. Monday by two offenders, but declined to identify the victims. No one was in custody for the crime, he said. Last year, both New York Knicks center Eddy Curry and then Miami Heat forward Antoine Walker were robbed at gunpoint in their homes.

I am really getting sick of all these horrbile stories happening with athletes. This kid was just walking somewhere most likely home after having a few drinks and two a**holes rob him at gunpoint. Some people are just brutal. I hate people like that..stop being a waste of life and get a job and become someone instead of wasting other peoples time and money! I hope Mendenhall is ok and not affected by this incident. Hopefully he will have a very successful rookie season and I think that he will!
