Watson Suspended for 11 Games and Fined $5 Million / and a bit OT and back.
-
As I posted in Steve's thread... The NFLPA is going to come out with guns blazing in Court.... You (the NFL) want to put the hammer down on Deshaun, but Bob Kraft is caught on camera visiting a prostitute, and crickets? Suspend him for an equal number of games.
In the first place it's two different issues. A prostitutes job is to suck your weiner. A massage therapists job is to rub your back. A prostitute isn't likely to be offended if you jerk off on them. A massage therapist or a barista or a Dollar General Clerk possibly will.

In addition to what @hoortasaid, soliciting prostitution is actually a crime in Florida, whereas whatever DW is accused of is so far from a crime, Grand Juries won't even start a trail.

I'm not seeing the woke mob
That's because it's not a thing. It's just word salad added to something else which is tangible. If there's "A Mob" that mob is present because of a policy dispute or historical event which is real. It has no specific definition because "woke" is Whatever The Person Saying It Dislikes.
"Woke" is something stupid people say.. it's a value-free and meaning-free term that wastes both space and time.
It's the adult equivalent of the 4th grade insult "I'm not stupid, You're stupid."
I'd ask people to have the self-respect to stop using that word, but that's an insult to the people on this forum who have no self-respect.

Not really Steve.. Part of the NFL's case against DW was conduct besmirching the "Shield". Kraft certainly did. But him and the other owners sign Goodell's pay checks. Double standard there.

That much is true. But the two situations are apples and oranges. Actually the Dan Snyder case is closer because he actually did have women filing complaints. They did come down on the Dolphins.

cluster ? storm..
Several groups believe now that a Texas star like Watson should have never had his grand jury cases heard in the Houston area of Texas ?
Yesterday.. the "race to the courthouse" started at 4 PM
Robinson than gets railroaded, by using the NFL's past suspension standard train-wrecks of players in past
Now let's do what Rodger wants...
It's time to turn the channel on not hearing whats next for me..

Only because it's he said she said. I don't know what the illegal tapes showed with the Bob Kraft affair. Neither do you. If they have him on tape offering money and accepting the b****** that's one thing. Speaking of illegal, entrapment isn't one of the Hallmarks of the American justice system either.

It's used because folks like the person who said this are being told all day, every day, that the shit they disagree with is "woke culture". It's absolutely insane how much it's used in the news folks like that listen to and it clearly works.
Anywho-I don't think I'm going to disagree that this process is stupid. The fact that Goddell has the power over an arbitrator, let alone one who is a federal judge, is insane. I strongly disagree with her opinion, but that should have been the end of it for better or for worse. But, that doesn't mean what the NFL is saying is untrue. This is according to them the "most egregious" violation of the conduct policy in NFL history, and I'm inclined to agree. I could see a world where they bargain for 12 games to show 'good faith' that they will work with the NFLPA and somewhat respect the arbitrator, but I doubt it. It seems evident they want to make an example out of Watson, and I can't argue that they shouldn't.
There's no more debate to be had with any of you if you think 25+ women formed a cabal to railroad a dude for strictly money. All I can say is go listen to some Bill Cosby standup and watch a Harvery Weinstein film with your fingers in your ears.

Agree, Woke is something stupid people say, as in #staywoke, actually an old term brought back to life and used exclusively by the stupidity on the left side of the aisle. Anyone else using it is only to mock.
Again, I don't see the woke crowd coming to Watsons aid. No whining about "racism" or him being discriminated against.

Your judging everyone using the term “woke” as stupid is hypocritical. There are plenty of folks on the left and some on the other side who embrace and own the term woke for themselves. That said perhaps it’s the wrong term to use here. Call it anything you like but the click bait media sensationalism and the me too crowd jumping on the bandwagon disregarding facts are continuing to escalate this. It truly is mob frenzy.

Just some on the other side embrace woke? Then they're stupid too, which obviously doesn't qualify me as hypocritical. The woke culture is of the left, by the left, and for the left. It seems to me being more a case of you being in denial than of me being hypocritical.
I agree with your take media sensationalism and click bait. The media been the root for much of the discord we have today.

Overall I think we agree what is going on with the outcry in the Watson situation. Our disagreement lies in the word woke and I can respect you don’t like or agree with the term or how I’ve applied it. I haven’t and won’t call you or others stupid because we disagree. I think it’s no less wrong to directly call someone stupid when their opinion differs than it is to call a broader group “woke”.

Watson loses 1 million dollars in salary if he is suspended the entire season this year.
Watson loses 1.5 million plus for EACH GAME if he files an injunction and drags this out until next year.
No judge will rule against the CBA. It is negotiated and agreed upon by both parties.
CBA says basically that both parties could appeal to Goodell and he will use the facts from the case by Sue Robinson. She clearly found him "guilty" of violating the Personal Conduct Policy. Also, the NFL will say Watson's actions are unprecedented.
Worst thing Watson and NFLPA can do is appeal in federal court and get an injunction. He will lose a ton more money.
-
Welp, he will be playing game 1....the NFLPA will now sue, injunction, then Discovery and the league will fold just like with kapernick because they don't want to give their text, emails...etc. The judge will probably be super angry the NFL brought this case to them because there's already been 2 grand juries and a retired federal judge they had an agreement with.

The NFLPA did not appeal the 6 game suspension.
So the debate is for week 7 this year or week 1 next year.

I love gumby's comment that the NFL threw their agreed upon arbiter Sue Robinson under the bus... Because they didn't like her decision.
As I opined earlier in this thread, Goodell & the NFL had better appoint someone not affiliated with the league to hear their appeal, if they don't- in some quarters it's going to be viewed as a Kangaroo Court hellbent on imposing whatever punishment they wanted to meet out on Watson in the first place.
Anything significantly more- say 12 games or a humongous fine will certainly be challenged in Federal Court by the NFLPA.
-
First six games... Panthers (A), Jets (H), Steelers (H), Falcons (A), Chargers (H), Patriots (H).
Then the fun starts with Watson's first game back on the road against the Ravens.
Some of the women's groups are not happy or satisfied with this ruling in this case or the NFL's stance on penalties involving the treatment of women.
This might not be 100% over involving some of the women involved in this and other cases.
We'll see what if anything happens next.

We know what happened. Media pressure from some commentators and outraged women's groups that the punishment was insufficient, and the socially conscious NFL couldn't fold fast enough. Ban the scumbag for life!!! Don't try and tell me that the NFL doesn't bend over backwards trying to engage women who might be vaguely interested in football. The pink Critical Catch thing is just one example.

Thank you for agreeing to end your use of the word "woke" .

Not quite a Kangaroo Court.. A Woke Court! It was a long way to go but we finally got there. I'll see myself out.
The ridiculous part is that anything resembling a long suspension will definitely go to federal court - and discovery will be a female dog, hopefully as positive for NFLPA as alex jones, who will now be immortalized as a law school case study in perjury. Probably wouldn't appeal if it was 7 or 8 but I'd pull the cord even at 9.
