Only people that will be upset with a year are Watson and converted Browns fans, might as well go with the year since it'll play better with everyone else. 1

He has settled all but one of the cases. On radio they said The statute of limitations on new criminal cases being filed from the civil cases is March 2023. The league is worried that more criminal cases will come up and wants to keep the suspension open since that would mean he could still be charged. There were accusers who lived in other states/counties from the ones that failed to indict. Edited August 3, 2022 by YoloinOhio 3 1
HappyDays Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 Yep this is exactly what I expected. The arbitrator decided it is more likely than not that the accusations against Watson are true. The NFL is going to take that decision and run with it. Hard to see how the NFLPA can win this one even if it ends up in federal court. 1

Beyond more legal trouble, I feel indefinite is needed to hold Watson accountable for owning his mistakes and getting some kind of counseling/treatment.

Agreed because his words show he does not understand that what he did was sexual assault or even disrespectful. And showed zero remorse. That is the biggest issue. 2

Buffalo_Stampede Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 If Watson is suspended a full year due to sexual misconduct there is no way he ever plays in the NFL again.

He would have to put his money where his mouth is and actually have to do something positive for abuse victims to be sincere about making amends.

eball Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 3 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: The CBA is very specific and says the Commissioner's (or his delegee's) decision on this appeal is final and binding. Those provisions were agreed to by the players and owners. The basis for the suit would be to challenge the CBA itself -- which isn't happening. Watson isn't suiting up W1. 1

Logic Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 I hope that the NFL is aiming for indefinite suspension. I think the league views growing its female fan base as an important initiative, and recognizes that public opinion is in the corner of a lengthy suspension for Watson. 3

Split the difference in what both sides recommended NFL wants a full year, it's been reported numerous times. I doubt they are going to split the difference when Goodell is the one making the decision.
DrDawkinstein Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 Well, good on Roger. I now have a teeny tiny sliver of faith restored. It aint much, but at least it's something. Anything 12 games or more, I'm happy with. 1
