Monday, the Steelers 2-time winning Super Bowl winning quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger made an official announcement regarding the 6-game suspension handed to him by NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell. Roethlisberger, although not convicted of a crime, violated the the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
“The Commissioner’s decision to suspend me speaks clearly that more is expected of me. I am accountable for the consequences of my actions. Though I have committed no crime, I regret that I have fallen short of the values instilled in me by my family. I will not appeal the suspension and will comply with what is asked of me — and more.
“Missing games will be devastating for me. I am sorry to let down my teammates and the entire Steelers fan base. I am disappointed that I have reached this point and will not put myself in this situation again.
“I appreciate the opportunities that I have been given in my life and will make the necessary improvements.”
