Neither Ray Lewis nor Ben Roethlisberger were ever convicted of the crimes they were accused of committing.
If either was ever convicted in court, I would think (or hope) that their respective organization would essentially sever all ties with them and remove them from any RoH or publicity.
Exactly. While it may be fun to bring up that sort of material when talking smack with fans of those respective teams, if someone made public statements to the effect of stating that the players in question were murderers or rapists, they may be able to be held liable for civil damages. That isn't any sort of defense for the character of the players in question, but more just a statement on present day reality.
