With the suspension already being handed out by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and the district attorney already stating that no charges would be filed, one would think that the controversy surrounding the actions and behavior of the Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback. Instead, with the recent news being broke by Sports Illustrated one has to wonder if Goodell may have been premature in ending the NFL’s investigation and handing out a penalty already.
Ryan Tollner, Roethlisberger’s agent, states that the qb has gotten the picture and has no interest in being the guy that is being portrayed in the media. At the same time, SI reports that its writers were faced with the “Do you know who I am” attitude when they were in the Steel City.
A history of behavior paints a rather unpleasant picture. In the SI story, a number of statements continue to paint his behavior and attitude towards women in a negative light.
Supposedly, whenever Roethlisberger goes out with friends they feel as if they must constantly apologize for his behavior. In instance, he made comments to a pregnant waitress at a TGIF’s like, “Did your boyfriend forget to pull out?”
A teammate that was with Roethlisberger during that fateful night in Georgia has remarked that the fans have every right to be upset and hopes that they can forgive the quarterback and move on.
After they read about how he did planned on having “Clinton sex” that night in Milledgeville they may find it a little bit harder to move on.
