Roethlisberger raped two women, allegedly, and served a six game suspension. Six games appealed to four games.

The Gloria Steinem's of the world did not campaign en masse to push that suspension to indefinite.

The Gloria Allred's of the world were not as active as they could've been to address those heinous actions.

Deshaun's suspension should be 8 games at best based solely on the precedent of 6 appealed to 4 in Ben's case.

Since the Texans played a role in these incidents hold them accountable as well with fines and loss of multiple first round picks. Force every team that pursued Deshaun to face punishment as well to send a message. It's unfair to suspend Deshaun indefinitely and fine him more than the guy that allegedly raped two women.
