Watson Suspended for 11 Games and Fined $5 Million / and a bit OT and back.

......
︎ Oh BTW this thread did drift OFF TOPIC like they sometimes do. So we will try to get it back to the original topic. Thank you. mjp.
The case of Deshaun Watson. It would be a good movie of the week -but- it's REAL to the Cleveland BROWNS and fans.
So what happens next ?
Under the latest collective bargaining agreement, the question of whether Watson violated the league’s personal conduct policy is ultimately expected to be weighed by former U.S. District Court Judge Sue Robinson. Robinson has been chosen by the NFL and NFL Players Association to act as an impartial arbitrator in disciplinary cases such as Watson’s.
But the NFL must first determine whether it believes Watson violated the policy. The steps in the league’s probe are expected to fall into one of these tracks:
-
The NFL finds that no personal conduct policy violation occurred. Watson faces no discipline.
-
The NFL finds that a violation of the personal conduct policy occurred. It forwards its findings to the independent arbitrator for a decision.
-
If applicable, the independent arbitrator weighs the evidence presented by the NFL and determines no personal conduct policy violation occurred. Watson faces no punishment. Per the CBA, the NFL cannot appeal this decision from the arbitrator.
-
If applicable, the independent arbitrator weighs the evidence presented by the NFL and determines a violation of the personal conduct policy did occur. The arbitrator can then determine the punishment rendered for the infraction. If the NFL disagrees with the punishment rendered, the league can appeal it to commissioner Roger Goodell, who then makes a final determination on any punishment, which could range from a suspension to a monetary fine.

And so it starts, one in 21 to go ?
Testifying under oath, Deshaun Watson admits Ashley Solis cried at end of massage
Posted by Mike Florio on May 17, 2022, 4:32 PM EDT......Barring one or more settlements, Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson eventually will stand trial in 22 different cases with 22 different juries regarding claims made by 22 different massage therapists.
Last week, Watson testified in one of the pre-trial depositions that a massage ended with the therapist crying, according to Brent Schrotenboer of USA Today. Watson also admitted that he sent her an apology via text message.
The testimony came in the case brought by Ashley Solis. She was the first therapist to go public with her claims.
Watson claimed he didn’t know why she had cried. Solis claims that Watson intentionally touched her with his penis during the massage, prompting the reaction.
“Sorry about you feeling uncomfortable,” Watson texted. “Never were the intentions. Lmk if you want to work in the future. My apologies.”
Asked why he sent an apology, Watson testified: “Yes, because she was teary-eyed. And I was trying to figure out what was going on. So, I assumed that she was uncomfortable in whatever reason. And we talked about working in the future. And so, I said, `We can work in the future. Just let me know.’ And then I sent my apologies as whatever reason she was teary-eyed for.”
With no court order in place preventing the deposition transcripts from being disseminated to reporters, the lawyers can share any, some, or all of the information. This specific testimony was provided by attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents the 22 plaintiffs.
The report lands one day after multiple reports indicated that the NFL will meet with Watson this week. As explained earlier today, the league has much to do in order to get any disciplinary process fully resolved by the start of the 2022 regular season.
~~~~~~~~~~ ? ~~~~~~~~~~
And so it goes on, this isn't just the NFL football anymore it's L & O or People's Court or whatever you want to call it but it sure isn't Pete Rozelle and the. 1960s NFL Live with Brent Musberger.
What's Episode 2 going to be about "the sizzling sexploitations of Deshaun " ? Stay tuned.

These claims do not have the same optics of Ben's/Zeke/Hunt/Ray Rice nor Joe Mixon.. Robert Craft? Brady deflate-gate?

Yes! the optics do look bad, but Watson & the NFL have not decided on anything but to meet up in Texas for 2 sides of.. He said/She said..

eh.... not anymore. It's more real now. it gets worse. This asinine garbage deal stinks worse than 100 acres of farmland that has just had manure water sprayed on it on a hot day.
The attorney for the 22 women who have accused Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson of sexual harassment said that Watson testified that one of the women cried at the end of his massage therapy session. Attorney Tony Buzbee told USA Today on Tuesday that during a pretrial deposition last week, the 26-year-old quarterback said he…Deshaun Watson’s 19th accuser says he told her: ‘No one is going to know’

Sources: Recent 'deadlock' in Deshaun Watson civil cases is expected to push all trials to 2023
HOUSTON — All civil lawsuit trial proceedings between 22 women and Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson are expected to be pushed to 2023, two sources familiar with communications between attorneys handling the litigation told Yahoo Sports.
Tony Buzbee, the attorney representing 22 women suing Watson for alleged sexual misconduct or sexual assault, and Rusty Hardin, who is Watson’s lead defense attorney, have not been able to come to an agreement on multiple issues, the sources said. The result has pushed the timeline for proceedings to a point that it would now likely violate the agreed-upon moratorium on cases between Aug. 1, 2022 and March 1, 2023.
Among the issues: Buzbee and Hardin have not been able to come to an agreement on which suit should be heard first between plaintiffs Ashley Solis and Lauren Baxley. Both sides also have more discovery ahead in the cases, and Watson still has a swath of depositions remaining, including at least six in June.......continued in our legal court system, just the way it works......
SO meanwhile go play football guys !
GO BROWNS ! Pretend that nothing else matters......until next year.
Good grief Charlie Brown.

My only question is how long the NFL will suspend him for?
Last time I remember the NFL investigating complaints of sexual misconduct/harassment at the workplace, it cleared Daniel Snyder. Not to worry though, it successfully diverted that bad scent to a non-employee of the Washington Football Team - Jon Gruden. How could such a thing happen? I dunno, maybe Daniel Snyder was one of the owners that voted or had to vote on the approval of Roger Goodell's salary increase?

By far the most noteworthy about this article is finding out MSN still exists. I can vaguely remember using it when I was young, decades ago.
Only mildly interesting is the absurd framing: "Bad News" and " a serious body blow." Factually, the delay of these preposterous civil suits well into 2023 will likely result in DW being able to play the entire '22-23 season. But somehow this is """"bAd"""" for the Browns. Give me a break!

That was my immediate reaction also. But I slowly remembered how much commissioner GoToHell enjoys suspending people.

Steve, are you not aware the NFL said they are doing their own investigation of Watson/s actions up against the NFL Code of Conduct (regardless of courtroom outcomes)? Once complete, we will learn if there is a suspension and how long it will be.
