There's always a weird double standard. I neither believe in his innocence or his absolute guilt. I think where there's smoke there's fire and there's a lot of smoke surrounding him, but how much of it constitutes actual sexual assault and how much is just uncomfortable behavior which isn't ok but isn't a crime either

Understood there were adult things going on. Deshawn saw some of the woman multiple times. There must have been some "friendly" atmosphere for them to have returned. Somehing changed?!!!! What was it? Did Deshawn step over a line? Were the women $ pushed $ that way? MHO The latter! 

GO BROWNS!!!

A two year suspension sounds about right for one playing a gentleman's game.

This is football, so Watson will get a month.. Although, I'd like to see the pervert get 2 years.

This is football......comparing it to other sports like the other  sports including the gentleman's game baseball and others.  And comparing the fines/suspensions in each.

And comparing the big four professional sports to others.

NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL ?

Yeah the MLB is the most gentleman like of those professional games.  Soccer, golf, tennis and others just don't measure up to the Big Four standards. 

Now does that include penalties  ?  Bauer got a pretty stiff 2 year one.

I don't understand what you're asking.

Another case (from the link) yahoo sports......

How a baseball ruling could affect Deshaun Watson (Nick Cammett/Getty Images) By Jay Busbee, Yahoo Sports..... Tuesday May 3..... Two players at the top of their respective professions. Two players in their respective sports' marquee positions. Two players accused of heinous crimes against women. Two players not charged criminally for their actions. Now, one player has been suspended for two years. The other just joined a new team on a landmark contract. The cases of pitcher Trevor Bauer and quarterback Deshaun Watson aren't precisely comparable, legally speaking. But as our Charles Robinson notes in his latest column, the two cases share a significant place in the cultural spotlight. The court of public opinion often looks past legal judgments in rendering its own verdict, and in that way, the two cases could end up connected for some time to come.  Bauer was accused of violent behavior by several women; a five-month police investigation resulted in no charges against him. However, Major League Baseball conducted its own investigation, and levied the two-year suspension against the former Cy Young Award winner. .......continued........
