Benching Big Ben?

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is in big trouble.

Early this week, he was involved in a sexual assault allegation in a pub near Atlanta, which comes less than two years after another sexual assualt allegation in Lake Tahoe that still hasn't been resolved.

People say that once is an accident, while twice is a trend. Yours truly would like to add that when there is smoke, there has to be fire.

And don't forget, he nearly killed himself in a motorcycle accident in 2006, because he was not wearing a helmet despite repeated warnings from his coaches.

For a proud and prestigious organization like the Steelers, which values players' integrity and has a track record of not tolerating any misconduct off the field, would they welcome him back as the face of the franchise?

That is, someone who might need sex therapy?

Probably not.
