How long should Ben Rapelesberger be suspended??

[sdca]

If he was actually charged, I'd say the whole season...

But I'm thinking Goodell will go with maybe 4 games.

jones was charged with crimes such , and also a central figure in a fight that led to a person being shot. And I dont think Ben ever got arrested.But Goodell has said that just b/c you don't get arrested or charged doesn't let you off the hook b/c actions still taint the league. Which this has.

So with that said, i expect Ben to be suspended for 2-4 games

edit. the suspension will handed down by the Steelers, not the NFL

maybe so, i was just going off this quote from their president

At his Thursday afternoon press conference, Steelers president Art Rooney II said that the team is "prepared to take disciplinary action at this point" against quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Rooney then said that the discipline "will be agreed to and coordinated between" the Steelers and Commissioner Roger Goodell. Rooney added that there will be only one decision on discipline

but I haven't been watching ESPN any so the suspension my come from the league.

I was thinking back two years ago when Steve Smith knocked out Ken Lucas and the league allowed Carolina to hand out its own suspension instead of going through the league.

Steelers Org is getting fined too. Big Ben should be suspended and traded to the lions cause they never win.. I think he actually did do some bad shit this time. The cop who interviewed him resigned cause he fucked up.

The DA even said they don't prosecute morals they prosecute crimes.

If been was black he would be in jail.
•The encounter lasted about ten minutes, beginning from when Roethlisberger entered the back area "with his penis already out of his pants." The alleged victim repeatedly told him she didn't want to have sex, but he kept reassuring her, as they had unprotected sex. She told her friends immediately after, and they reported it to the first police officer they saw.

•According to her friend, both the girl and Roethlisberger were "noticeably intoxicated". His bodyguards "dragged" the victim to the back, and he followed two minutes later. When her friends approached the bar manager to unlock the bathroom door, he told them "Ben's an NFL quarterback, he won't do anything to ruin his reputation."

•The alleged victim had met up with Roethlisberger earlier in the night at another bar, where he called her and her sorority sisters "a tease." They ran into him again at Capital City, where the back room was roped off to everyone but Roethlisberger and "10 to 15 girls." One of her friends told police afterwards that she thought the whole thing was a "set-up," and that Roethlisberger had selected the alleged victim earlier in the evening.

•The alleged victim was wearing a nametag labeled "DTF" When asked, she said it stood for "down to fuck." Roethlisberger replied, "I'm not down to fuck, but I like to fuck girls."

•One of the girls in the group left the bar angrily after Roethlisberger purchased a round of drinks, saying "all my bitches, take some shots."

•Roethlisberger's bodyguards were deleting photos from people's cameras and phones that depicted Roethlisberger drinking.

•When they got home, one of Roethlisberger's friends asked him what had happened in the bathroom. Roethlisberger told him nothing had happened, and that they were just "messing around." He said that she had slipped, and once he had helped her up, he told her they were not going to continue.

•On March 17, 12 days after the incident, a lawyer for the woman requested that the rape probe be dropped, because "a criminal trial would be a very intrusive experience."

Yeah thats my only issue I have cause you know if this was a black player the media would make it seem like he was the worst person alive.
