Stillers Fans at DEFCON 1- Big Ben Accused Again (Update- No Charges Filed)

Eerily similar circumstances:

"Under penalty of perjury, Paula Jones declared that Clinton had Trooper Danny Ferguson escort her to Clinton's hotel room where Clinton made sexual advances that Jones rejected, and that Clinton eventually dropped both his trousers and his underwear and exposed himself to Jones, at which time Jones said she had to go."

 

It has become abundantly clear that you are an absolute moron. To bring HIV into the discussion is reprehensible.

 

Of course, we're not talking about arrests and convictions now. We're talking about suspensions by a NFL, handed down to one of its players for conduct detrimental to league.

 

Oz didn't get the Steeler fandork memo.

 

BTW, still looking at the Georgia sexual statutes, this one would get struck down in about two seconds flat if anyone ever wanted to challenge it:

16-6-23. Publication of the name or identity of female raped or
assaulted with intent to commit rape.
(a) It shall be unlawful for any news media or any other person to
print and publish, broadcast, televise, or disseminate through any other
medium of public dissemination or cause to be printed or published,
broadcast, televised, or disseminated in any newspaper, magazine,
periodical, or other publication published in this state or through any
radio or television broadcast originating in the state the name or
identity of any female who may have been raped or upon whom an assault
with intent to commit the offense of rape may have been made.
(b) This Code section does not apply to truthful information disclosed
in public court documents open to public inspection.
(c) Any person or corporation violating this Code section shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor.

 

Yes, suspending a player not tried for a crime in some way sets an unfortunate precedent. But isn't doing nothing -- or just slapping a player's wrist with a two-game vacation -- a million times worse?

Jesus Christ. With what's out there, I don't know how anyone can defend Roethlisberger.

 

I agree, but the bottom line is he didn't anything criminally wrong and thus it is hard to determine what exactly he did wrong at all, other than try to fuck in a bathroom.

And Boom brings up a great point -- were some of you this quick to believe Paula Jones story?

THat's what I thought......

 

The goalposts have moved so many times during the course of this thread, Alleged Rapesalotberger doesn't know which direction to drive his team in.

 

You can defend him, depending on the argument. I wouldn't defend him over a two-game suspension. I would defend him if it was a two-year suspension, though.

 

Your political jab doesn't work with me, zag, and your argument is ridiculous. Businesses have the right to punish employees for conduct detrimental. And the idea that America is a society in which any individual can act in any way he/she wants and should never be held accountable as long as there's no arrest is ludicrous. Aren't you a big fan of personal responsibility? If so, you shouldn't have a problem with an individual being punished after displaying a pattern of irresponsible and deviant behavior.

 

So what do you think is fitting? Eight games? Four for conduct unbecoming, two for douchebaggery and two for "Seriously!?! WTF, were you thinking?"

 

Paula Jones had no witnesses. Lots of witnesses to Roethlisberger's behavior.
