Ben Roethlisberger won’t face criminal charges after being accused of sexual assault but that doesn’t mean the league and or the Steelers won’t hammer him and someone should. The Steelers essentially fired wide receiver Santonio Holmes for bad behavior; and considering Roethlisberger’s act is worse, they have to come down on him, hard. Not doing so would be evidence of the worst kind of double standard, and further divide a locker room that already doesn’t have Roethlisberger’s back.
