Ben Roethlisberger is going to be suspended. The question is the length of the suspension. The star quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers found himself in the middle of another offseason controversy when a college student in Georgia accused him of rape.
Even though the DA decided not to press charges due to a lack of evidence, that doesn’t mean Roethlisberger will or should get off without any sort of punishment from the NFL — especially since he’s a repeat offender. This is the same guy who is being sued for sexual assault and who also almost got killed in a motorcycle accident.
The NFL and the Steelers may work hand in hand when giving Roethlisberger the suspension. The Steelers are very upset with the quarterback and want to send a strong message both to Roethlisberger and Steelers fans. The Steelers recently proved that they are actively cleaning up their image when they shipped talented yet troubled wide receiver Santonio Holmes to the New York Jets for a fifth rounder.
My guess is that Roethlisberger will be handed a four-game suspension. That suspension will serve as a stern notice while also not totally destroying the hopes of the Steelers in the 2010 NFL season.
