I would like to know this answer.  If this happens now, it will send a chilling affect throughout the NFL that ANY player, based on ANY accusation, whether criminal saunctions are applied or not COULD lead to a suspension!  How would any of us like that in our own personal lives?  I guess this is the libertarian streak coming out for me.  Whether you are appalled by what BB ALLEGEDLEY did or didn't, please rethink what all you fans who are clamoring for BB to be suspended or shipped out!  If he gets traded for this, you can bet that we will mired in mediocity for years to come!  Remember the Tomczak, brister, O'donnell, stewart, graham, blackledge days???  To all in BTSC, please rethink your hot headed position about throwing around the "rapist" accusation and "ship him out" mentality!
