Sporting News complied a bunch of Tweets from various famous people talking about the Ben Roethlisberger situation. Here’s a couple opinions about the 6-game suspension that was handed down earlier today:
Jim Rome: Why did the commish hammer B Roethlisberger for 6 games? Because he could. That punishment fits the crime. Even if he didn’t commit one.
Jalen Rose: (Nfl)Steelers Big Ben is suspended min 4-6 games…depending on good behavior..too easy or harsh? I think this penalty is too heavy
Shawne Merriman: #aintnoway Ben Rothlisberger Deserves 6 games
Jason Whitlock: I write what I believe. I don’t believe in combating racism w/racism. U combat racism w/fairness. No victory n being unfair to Big Ben
Warren Sapp: Never? RT @lilbama15: @QBKILLA do u feel the suspension was to harsh for some who has never been in trouble
Chad Ochocinco: Big Ben gets a 6 game suspension, what are y’all thoughts? #mythoughts hang with me n offseason n make what u losing n 6 gms #justsayn
Keith Olbermann: @mrpatdean as noted widely NFL tougher on this subject than Pope RT @KeithOlbermann what did you think of big ben’s six game suspension?
Darren Rovell: Roethlisberger’s six-game suspension will cost him $2,841,174
Jemele Hill: I have no problem w/ Ben’s punishment. It’s deserved. But some ppl acting like an “injustice” was done w/ other blk athletes. It wasn’t.

When did the NFL become the Vatican and the Pope. What was a twenty year old doing in the bar. Bar should be cultable. Moral issues should be a church issue not the NFL. Who hasn’t got a blow job in there life cast the first stone. Let the man play football. What is this volleyball. The Raiders for fifty years have promoted everything from crime to killing someone. Lyle Alzado was the biggest criminal in history and that pack of wolves. All drug addicts and womenizers. Give me a break let Ben alone you morons.

im with ed on this one… i think a 2 or 3 game suspension is reasonable since ben is not completely at fault but 6 weeks is so ridiculous… my hope is ben stays in pittsburgh and everyone leaves him the fuck alone and lets him get back to the business of winning… if they want to give the fucker a parole officer for the off season then let them.. all these idiotic reports and journalists exaggerating and amplifying the situation does nothing but tarnish the image of the nfl.. maybe goodell should suspend the media for 6 weeks for being detremental to the league…
