Roethlisberger Benched

[Trigger warning]

Alleged rapist Ben Roethlisberger had been suspended by the NFL for six games following the latest round of accusations of sexual assault.

Word is his suspension could be reduced to four games if he doesn't rape anyone else in the meantime. I mean, "for good behavior." Terms of the suspension also require a "comprehensive behavioral evaluation by medical professionals," whatever the fuck that means.

As an interesting aside, where interesting equals rage-inducing, I will note that raping a woman will get you suspended for four to six games, but killing a dog results in an "indefinite" suspension. What a wonderful world we live in.
