So I've gotten pretty tired of constant talk on this situation that seems to be going in circles. I do however think it is very important that everyone follows the story and forms educated opinions. We belong to a class organization, I stand behind that, and we do have a responsibility as fans that preach this to hold our players to our standards. If we feel they breach these standards, I do think it is our responsibility to call for action.

So as much as this has been beaten to death on this blog and elsewhere, I still feel like I have no idea where the opinions of Steeler Nation truly lie here. We seem deeply divided, with a wide variety of opinions floating around. So where exactly do we stand on this issue?

I've created what I think is a pretty comprehensive breakdown of the varying opinions. Select the one that best fits your opinion of Ben and how you think we should handle this situation. Also, I know there are non-Steeler fans that sometimes visit this board. Please don't add your vote as I'm definitely looking for the %s for our fanbase only. Obviously feel free to still comment in the thread.

I would suggest reading this article which I think paints a pretty complete picture of the story. The GBI documents are out there as well, just be informed before making a choice.
