Not exactly. The league appealed the arbitrator's decision. The appeal will be heard by Goodell or his designee. That person will then decide what the punishment will be. The league is reported wanting the punishment to be indefinite or a year long to go with a steep fine, but that decision hasn't been made yet. It will reportedly be made within the next couple of weeks (before the season). If Watson or the NFLPA doesn't like the punishment handed down from the appeal, they can file suit in federal court and try to stop it there.Keep seeing this but what does it really even mean they are appealing for a year? They make the decision so are they simply saying it's now a year (or indefinite)?
IMO 10 is the lowest.
I'll add that the use of the "precedent", IMO, has been incorrectly applied as well. Nearly all of the cases that would be "similar" to Watson involve 1, maybe 2, victims. So, if we are really going to look at the past decisions as precedent, then the amount of women who have filed complaints should also be taken into consideration. To not include this into the decision would be to only take half of the "precedents" set before them.
So what are you alleging? What has he been convicted of? Ok, here we go!Easy, man. Hardly "outraged". Thought he did more than that, though....
Why do the Texans matter? That would be the only game I would allow him to play during the season so Watson can beat the Texans ass for permitting and helping assist in this issue. I would suspend him for 16 games with the only game he is allowed to play is against the Texans. haha
Geeze, try posting without an attitude...So what are you alleging? What has he been convicted of? Ok, here we go!
I get this is the wordking of it...but if the league wants a year and the league decides......?Not exactly. The league appealed the arbitrator's decision.

I think he should be suspended for just what he did to the Texans let alone the women. Entitled mfr
The supposed evidence was illegally obtained by police - on purpose.Geeze, try posting without an attitude...
Thought I had heard he did some solicitation as well. If I'm wrong simply say so...
Actually it's sometimes I enjoy trying to slap the stupid out of you. It's a great work out."sometimes"? You clearly lack self control and are a compulsive liar....which makes you free comic relief.
Under the CBA, the league is the last word on the issue. They're gonna get the punishment they want. Whether that is a year or indefinite or 12 games or whatever. Watson and the union can sue in federal court to try and stop it but that's unlikely to be successful.I get this is the wordking of it...but if the league wants a year and the league decides......?
Davis Mills actually put up decent numbers last year. I think he'll take the next step this year. I am surprised that Texans / Browns game was not a scheduled a prime time game.

so, to speak yes.Right,
- At the start of this process, the NFL is the DA offering Watson a plea deal.
- Watson turns down the plea deal and opts to go to Trial.
- Watson wins a better deal at Trial.
- The NFL wants to appeal the decision to a higher Court.
- But here is the rub, ....Goodell is the Judge in that Higher court.

Let's not act like the Texans were innocent bystanders in all this. They coddled his assI think he should be suspended for just what he did to the Texans let alone the women. Entitled mfr
And I think down the road it will come out Watson demanding entitlement. Watson will blame ClemsonLet's not act like the Texans were innocent bystanders in all this. They coddled his ass
