This Fan Always Looked Down on Ben

Benoit Benjamin says he regrets his one-finger salute because, “Kids are our future and they look up to guys like me.”

The only reason kids look up to “Big Ben” is his altitude, not his attitude. The man has proved over a six-year Clipper career that, while he may be a character, he certainly doesn’t have any. In fact, this dog couldn’t win best in show if he was the only dog in the show.

My guess is the gesture wasn’t meant maliciously. Ben was simply reminding himself and Clipper fans of how many productive games he had while playing in Los Angeles.
