Yes?
Do you think Roethlesberger would be suspended if he was black?

I believe he got six games, at least in part, for that reason. Most people thought he would get four at the most.
That, and I personally suspect that there are other stories that have not made prime time yet.

I think you might be right. There's allegedly another woman in the same area whose friend is trying to get her to come forward and tell of her experience with Mr. Rapelisberger, but she's refusing so far. And it's not all that surprising that she wouldn't want to talk, considering how his previous victims have been treated.
It bothers me that he can reduce his suspension from six games to four if he complies with his "Now, now, Ben, don't be a raper" therapy.

We have a pretty sorry record in this country of looking the other way on this type of thing when the person in question is a sports hero - white, brown, or black.
I personally think the guy needs to be traded to the Eagles - if they can put up with Michael Vick, they can put up with this dummy Roethlesberger.

Apparently, even the Steelers aren't willing to stand behind him, because they're listening to trade offers.
Thought I read on the draft picks last night that they weren't considering trading him.
