Rashard Mendenhall fired by Champion over Osama bin Laden tweets

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall is being dropped as an endorser by corporate sponsor Champion over his controversial tweets about the death of terror leader Osama bin Laden and his questioning of what really happened during the September 11th terror attacks.

Champion is "ending our business relationship" with Mendenhall since the company doesn't think he "can appropriately represent Champion," spokesman Matt Hall told Game On! Thursday night.
