STOP... please stop. You havent a clue about the legal system, obviously. A clear case of unfair treatment? bahahaha.... you do know that how things were done in 2017 and how things are done today are different, yes???
What would be the basis of his lawsuit?
If he was to proceed and if Watson gets less than a year, I would think he'd be suing for lost wages. The reason would be because of the fact that, while the years are different, the policy was jammed down his throat while Watson would be receiving a lesser punishment.
THE NEW NFL PERSONAL CONDUCT POLICY - CBS News
According to the above, the policy reads "
Violations involving assault, battery, domestic violence or sexual assault will result in a baseline six-game suspension without pay, with more if aggravating factors are present, such as the use of a weapon or a crime against a child. A second offense will result in banishment from the NFL."
As such, there are two aspects that Zeke would have to his advantage. One, the NFL's investigator stated that the accuser was not credible, so the suspension should not have even taken place. Secondly, even if it were, the NFL would violate it's own policy because Watson must have a baseline of 6 games if it was one instance. However, because there are, as you've stated, at least 5 accusers being used for the basis of Watson's discipline, then that should be an exponential amount handed down against Watson. The argument that Watson sat out last year, while true, is irrelevant because he was paid if Zeke is arguing lost wages as Zeke never received payment while he was sitting out those 6 games. Thus, he would have received unfair treatment as Watson, it could be argued, received preferential treatment despite an exponentially higher amount of allegations, of which 5 appear to be legitimate as they're being used for the basis. Meanwhile, as stated, the League's own investigator stated that Zeke's accuser wasn't credible. As such, Zeke should not have been suspended.
