Ben Roethlisberger- My Take
I'll keep this one short, simple, and not so sweet.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger deserves to be suspended.
I am not sure how you quantify his alleged trangressions into a number of games-- but let's start with five and move forward, certainly not back.
To clarify, Roethlisberger hasn't been charged with a crime. But he's been accused twice of sexual assault, and no one seems to be disputing much of the sordid information that's been released regarding the second one.
Authorities in Georgia say they they "do not prosecute morals. We prosecute crimes."
That statement alone, is fairly big indictment. Draw from it what you want.
Roethlisberger's fate on the playing field is now in the hands of the NFL commissioner.
He needs to be suspended. I don't think 5 games is too harsh. In fact, it may not be enough.
