There are reports that Ben Roethlisberger will be slapped with a four to six game suspension from the NFL for violating the leagues code of conduct. Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual assault twice, although charges have never been filed against him in neither case.
Rumors are running rampant about Big Ben possibly being traded for a top 10 pick in tomorrow nights draft. If Ben is traded this would definetly catch most of us off guard since Ben is a franchise QB and franchise QB’s don’t get traded- especially ones in their prime years. I wonder if the Steelers are trying to send a message about how seriously they take their teams image of integrity. Remember Santonio Holmes, a former first round draft pick and Super Bowl MVP, the Steelers traded to the JETS for a 5TH ROUND DRAFT PICK a little over a week ago? And all he did was throw a drink in a lady’s face!
Ben is one of my favorite QB’s in the league and I do not think he dserves to be traded but athletes must learn that there are consequences for their actions, behaviors, and decisions. There are plenty of other people out there that wish they could get the chance that Ben has. If he is traded, I think he should be happy. He should be happy that there were no rape charges filed against him. That stigma alone could ruin his career and although Kobe Bryant managed to shake it, I doubt anyone could overcome two sexual assault charges.
Im just sayin’…….!!!!!
