Good.

Well, this was expected. Let's see what happens.

It was inevitable. Had to happen

 

[The Quest for Six]

Six games for now 20 plus women complaints, doesn't pass the smell test.......

The NFL was NEVER going to let him play a game this year. Anyone who thought the NFL was ever not going to appeal this was crazy. The NFL realizes how bad a look he is and was starting an initiative against sexual assault to fix their image and that is meaningless if the face of sexual assault in the NFL is playing this year.

Seems like to tough case, maybe impossible, for Watson's lawyers and/or NFLPA to win when this arrangement was collectively bargained.

He shouldn’t ever play in the NFL again like Greg Hardy or Ray Rice (not comparing offenses here) but the Browns are so desperate they are willing to look past the reprehensible actions to win a few games.

So does this prove that the league doesn't go out of their way to target Cowboys' players (Zeke)?

Sissies

I don't understand what's happening. They are appealing to who? Why didn't this punishment get handed out by Goodell like all the others?

I guess by letting arbitration happen it gives solid cover for a lenient suspension, but if the NFL wants more punishment then just dish it out. Seriously, who's going to stop them?

Replace your HAD TO with SHOULD.

It depends on who is looking at the appeal. If this was a legal case, his appeal would be weak. But it isn't. Watson's team has to make their case against this arbitrator's opinion. In this case, the person taking the appeal can make any decision he wants.

no. CeeDee got fined more for his socks than Rodgers did violating Covid rules for an entire season.

Two courts threw out criminal charges for lack of evidence. Public outcry>>>>facts I guess

Good, rooting for the NFLPA in this one

Why????????????? The NFL has been trying to get women viewers for decades and along comes this serial women abuser, who visited women masseuses and sexually abused them non-stop and the NFL is backing this sick prick???????? No wonder the league is loaded with nothing but drugies, women abusers, tax cheaters, etc, the NFL welcomes these types with open arms. Personally, it wouldn't surprise me if I flipped a game on in Cleveland and didn't see one woman in the stands since they had the gull to sign the serial abuser to a contract that should be paid out to all the women these piece of crap abused! If there are any decent players left in the league, they would refuse to take the same field if the abuser is on it!
