I saw a pre-teen girl wearing his jersey walking with her mother the other day. I wanted to confront the mom, tell her that I'd buy that girl any other Steeler player's jersey if she'd go home an trash the one she was wearing. Ben is a disgrace. He's had a horrible reputation for years. Women need to stay the hell away from him and NO ONE should wear his jersey anymore.

When the NFL commish handed out the original punishment there was provisions for a possible reduction based on several factors. Which was followed.
Most other sports also reduce the original punishment if appealed. Even college sports, do likewise.

What is the NFL showing our children? If you violate a policy and have suspension - just ask and you can get off!!! No more rules - just stay with the punishment. Be a man and act like one. That is why I call it the National Felony League.
