Current Events > lol 11-game suspension for sexually assaulting at least 24 women

(+) Yeah! (+)

NFL is a joke league

Was he found guilty? That is how it works in the country the NFL is in - innocent until proven guilty. With that said, even if he WAS found guilty, they're not going to do anything because the country is a joke.

idk how ppl watch football when it fucks ppl up so bad

mma exists if you want real violence and those guys have less problems than nfl players. this suspension is ridiculous as well.

but it's not just NFL. we've seen tons of sexual assault and coverups and the college level as well. it's a football problem.

So you have to go to jail to get fired from your job?

And an NFL game could be shorter than a single MMA title fight. They only play like 12mins a game, and a UFC title fight could go 25

lets stop acting like the NFL is a normal job because most jobs fire you if youre arrested but not the NFL

THAT is how it works in America - you are innocent until someone proves you're guilty. People shouldn't lose their jobs based on what other people say about them. I don't like it in this case, I don't think anyone does, but that is in place because people get wrongfully accused a lot as well.

So roughly one game suspension for every two women he assaulted.

Yeesh.

Thats how it works in the legal system, but when 24 women accuse you of sexual assault it is a smart move by your employer to distance themselves from you. This has historically been the case, especially in high profile industries like the NFL.

Zeke got 6 games for one case of domestic violence, while Deshawn gets 11 games for committing a far worse crime dozens of times.

QB privilege at its finest.

This suspension is less than the 12-game suspension the NFL originally offered him as a settlement.

No matter how you look at it the guy won. What a joke.

Im not saying hes innocent or guilty just stating thats what it boils down to.

Playing for the Browns is considered by many to be worse than being in prison.

Calvin Ridley got suspended the entire year for betting on his team while he was not playing

No, they definitely should get fired. Imagine if you literally had to get someone convicted of a crime to be rid of them at work. You seem to misunderstand "innocent until proven guilty" as bad as people misunderstand free speech.

People get fired for far, far, far, far less than being accused by 24 separate women of sexual assault. My friend got fired from Wal-Mart because he made some goofy private jokes with a (supposed) friend and co-worker using Italian slurs. That's not great, but it's also not really comparable to being accused by literally dozens, plural, separate women--including the employer settling for tens of millions of dollars with the accusers out of court.

24 separate women can't all be lying and everyone basically admitted he did when he was told to only go to team supervised massages for now on.

This isn't a criminal case. It doesn't need to pass the same rigorous scrutiny. Employers have a right to discipline bad employees. You and I would be fired if dozens of people reported to our bosses that we've been sexually assaulting them. Are football players more important? Fuck the rich.

Which is exactly the problem

And the real dick punch is that not a single player in the NFL will speak out against him. It will be "He's a good football player, it's not my business, I don't get involved in politics..."

WTF are you talking about? Football games are 60 minutes long.

Also, for the record the NFL wanted a full season. A third party judge originally gave him only 6 games, they appealed & got it up to 11.

he means actual game action

People who dont watch football use that they only play 5 actual minutes in a game stat

it's messed up but he wasn't found guilty in the court of law, but yeah i agree with you he should be playing in the NFL

So, legitimate question as I don't follow anything football related... Is he not going to get any criminal charges for this? Kind of ridiculous if so.

I believe they convened 2 grand juries and declined to charge him

This. They tried and there wasnt enough there.

It seems like a heavy punishment imo.

Who gives a fuck? His career should be ended. This is clear classism, like this scumbag is worth more than some random common person.

It is being played mentally, which is a very important aspect of football. If you don't understand that then you are ignorant or trolling

someone got an indefinite suspension, and another a 70+ game suspension, for weed

NFL rules are backwards and this suspension is a joke, you don't have to lie to make it seem worse.

if you continually fail drug tests when you know youre tested more, then youre an idiot

And the indefinite suspension occurred because a player used an online betting site to place bets on his teamyou know the reason why Pete Rose isnt in the Hall of Fame

But being a fucking rapist is far worse than any number of times smoking weed, so the NFL is still running an absolute joke of a company. Them and the NFLPA should be fucking ashamed. This is police coverup-tier.

i think they should be able to bet on their own team tho

I can't believe there's someone in here defending DeShaun Watson lmao

And his suspension is a joke lmao

Never forget that Cleveland gave him one of the most lucrative contracts in sports history and structured it so any suspension would have almost no financial impact. Scumfuck is making the league minimum this year.

The entire franchise would have the hammer dropped on them in a fair, just world. They're all complicit.
