There has to be charges filed to throw a case out.
Great point and we expect the NFL to be the moral compass. I think the league should have stayed out of this from the start.
A freak? He is a typical 25 year old man who has been priveleged when it comes to women his entire life. He is 1 of millions of men that do crap like this every day.
He can appeal it. So if he doesnt. Then yes. It is unfair.
And grand juries fail to send criminals to trial so saying 2 failed to bring charges does hold water like you stated. The fact that he shows no remorse or failed to apologize says volumes, just pay them to go away. Sad way to look at it.
Actually brother. The lead investigator recommended no suspension. Because the witness wasn't credible. Don't let your hatred of Zeke on the field crucify him off the field lol
Wasnt the judge in NY also an ex lawyer of the NFL? The one who took the injunction away?
Pay attention... im gonna get deep here. If you read any cstate criminal code on sexual assault, the state legislature will actually define the type of behavior they are criminalizing. So SEXUAL ASSAULT will be defined by the state. The NFL had no such definition prior to Watson doing what he did. So at the hearing, the league defined what they felt that term to mean. The judge accepted their definition saying it is their league, they can define what sexual assault is.
and expecting the NFL to be some moral compass says a whole lot about the people that expect it to be so IMO. This is why I have never once wavered in my opinion that if a player is not in jail, Im ok with them playing in the NFL.
I love it when we dealwith legal stuff in here. Its amazing how the facts of what actually went down are twisted to the point of not even being recognizable to fit someone's narrative.
Having a hook up with a massage therapist is not surprising to people who live in the real world. Watson just has the money to get many therapists with no problem. I think people have an issue with the fact that he can have those types of hook ups.
im gonna go deep here......... so, here is what the judge actually was saying. In criminal code, criminal behavior is defined. So if I am going to say you were guilty of sexual assault, that term would have been defined in the criminal code. The NFL had no such definition in the CBA. They had many behaviors that they said you could be punished for, yet those behaviors were not defined. She was politely slapping them. During the arbitration hearing the NFL THEN defined those behaviors and applied them to Watson. In a criminal case, this would have NEVER been allowed. The judge allowed it, conceding that this is a business and the NFL owns the business and they can define the behaviors they want punished.
Watson does not think he did anything wrong. He truly believes that.
But the panel of 4 recommended disciplinary action so the league, Goodell, had little choice but to act.
agree. Cmon, he flew a woman in from across the country to give him a massage...... like she had the best hands east of the Mississippi river....lol

If I had his money at his age. I would probably have strippers instead of massage therapists but that is just me.
uhmm.... you might be missing the fact I liked your post and was agreeing with you. My post was in regards to those in here that use their own facts vs the actual facts. you know, those "Alternative facts," we learned about.
