In a move that can be called all things copout, Roger Goodell has suspended Pittsburgh Steelers’ sexual dynamo Ben Roethlisberger six games for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. Roethlisberger, who was never charged (but a very ugly picture was portrayed) now joins a list of actually charged, and convicted, criminals to be suspended by the iron fist of Goodell.
Why a copout you ask? Timing. Because you know, the media is just going to bury any form of a fight against the length amid the draft and upcoming weekend layoff. Lame.
