Best Answer

Ben Roethlisberger was suspended for the first six games of the 2010 season, later reduced to four, by commissioner Roger Goodell due to the leagues conduct policy. In March 2010, Roethlisberger was accused by a 20 year old woman of sexual assault in a Georgia bar. Even though he was not charged, the NFL does not want any shame brought upon the league by a players off the field actions.
