Whoever runs the Twitter account for Ben Roethlisberger’s official website BigBen7.com appears to very aggressive with the block button.
It’s been a running gag for years that half the Internet is for whatever reason blocked by the @_BigBen7 which is run by the people who manage Big Ben’s official website.
When Ben Roethlisberger announced that he was coming back this season on the account several people noticed that they had been blocked by it.
Informed the team I am looking forward to my 14th season. Steeler Nation will get my absolute best! — Ben.
