NFL appealing Watson suspension

[futballiscool]

The way this whole thing has unfolded that's only 2 options

1. Watson actually is completely innocent and he's not willing to admit wrong doing by accepting a suspension

Or

2. The dude is a sociopath

I think at least part of this might be that Watson believes he never proceeded after he was explicitly told not to so he didn't consider it assault. The other argument is simply doing some of the shit he did without explicitly gaining consent is assault.

Either that or the sociopath one.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has said he will not unilaterally rule in the Deshaun Watson case.​

Goodell has that power under the collective bargaining agreement, but the league will instead defer to new arbitrator Peter Harvey, the former attorney general of New Jersey. Harvey will have "full, final and complete disposition of dispute." Per CBS, the appeal will "address whether Harvey will increase the suspension length, establish a monetary fine and/or require Watson to get treatment and be professionally evaluated as determined by medical experts." The league badly wants to intervene in the process, but not to the point where Goodell can again be accused of acting outside the bounds of the sides' designated procedures. Nevermind the fact that one of those procedures is giving Goodell absolute power if he wants it. This saga will continue to drag on.

Basically Harvey’s job interview

I'll agree that it likely doesn't rise to the role of DV, but the arbiter did say that the CBA was broken with his actions - taking that, and then considering the amount of women involved, and using the past as a guide - that is where I come in at 12-17 games.

But, I think that's when you know you are reaching the middle ground - when both sides start to understand each others side, and move towards an agreement, even if not 100%.

Well put. I mean, if they com up with a fair resolution for everyone, neither side should think they won.

That's how I think it would be

I thought it would be 6-8 games but figured a case could be made for no suspension to a year or longer.

If you think Browns' fans here are desperate you really should just ask for help understanding the comments when you are struggling to keep up.

Don't let the rational, objective viewpoint confuse you.

I mean hell...the board was pretty unanimous on 8 games or so even just a few months ago.

I don’t think that’s true - but in any event all of us are more informed now (those who want to be). Six games isn’t nuts but is on the light side, even with Robinson’s reasoning.

When the league leaked an indefinite suspension with a one-year minimum it was a real statement of a desire to change NFL culture. I applaud that. But in the end I’m most interested in the public response, and in Watson’s personal development. Absent real signs that he realizes what he did was abusive I’ll be hoping his road is rocky and his career embarrassing and short.

You have a problem with the opinion?

Watson would be smart to agree on 12 games and a 10 million fine. And move on with his career and life.
