Yes. It's none of their business what he does off the field. The proper authorities have chosen not to file charges and here comes Goodell suspending him. Not his role at all.

That is not defending Roethlisberger. He is a creep. It's just not the NFL's role to jump in.

I stand by the use of the word fascist. The NFL is more corporate than IBM and General Motors put together.
