Big Ben Less The Raper

This just in...NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has reduced Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's suspension for [alleged] sexual misconduct from 6 to 4 games. This is interesting considering that nothing has changed regarding the incident for which Roethlisberger was suspended. The only thing that has changed is that time has passed. I wonder if money has anything to do with this. The Roethlisberger incident and subsequent allayed outrage is indicative of a very big problem in American society. Is there no sense of decency? Shame on Goodell. Shame on the NFL. Shame on the rest of us for sins of omission.
