Quarterback Deshaun Watson was met with loud cheering during practice after receiving a meager 6-game suspension for sexual misconduct.
without pay for violating the National Football League's personal conduct policy. The suspension comes in response to the more than two dozen women who have come forth with allegations against Watson for sexual misconduct during massage treatments. Watson is also limited to"club-approved massage therapists, in club-directed sessions, for the duration of his career," per
. However, Watson did not receive a fine. The ruling came in today from retired federal judge and NFL disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson, and the NFL or NFL Players Association have three days to appeal Robinson's decision. The six-game suspension is significantly less than the NFL's request for a 17-game season and postseason suspension,— a request that Robinson criticized for being unfair."Here, the NFL is attempting to impose a more dramatic shift in its culture without the benefit of fair notice to — and consistency of consequence for — those in the NFL subject to the Policy," Robinson said, per CNN.
The NFLPA already released a joint statement with Watson ahead of Robinson's ruling, stating it would"stand by her ruling" and"call on the NFL to do the same."
