by Does The NFL Actually Want To Suspend Deshaun Watson? I’m Not Convinced
As Browns fans we sit and wait for Judge Sue Robinson to make her verdict as to punishment for his roll in the lawsuits against Deshaun in regards to the personal conduct policy. There is nothing we can do but wait and wonder, but does the NFL really want to suspend him?
They had 24 lawsuits to use and they only brought in 12. Of those 24 only 2 were alleging force, but again they were not part of the 12 and it was not brought up. Either the NFL got lazy with the biggest news story they have had in years or they really don’t want to suspend him and wanted to use Sue Robinson as the patsy.
So they don’t take the heat when he plays week one. YES there is a huge chance he plays week one. The case they made against him is so weak that after 2 courts decided not to not move forward with an indictment on him, they still claim they “want” at least a year? Well I believe its a smoke screen.
They know damn well that Judge Robinson knows her stuff and will look at what the legal results. They want her to give no suspension in my humble opinion because then they cant do anything about it. If she gives him, say 4 games, then Commissioner Roger Goodell has the ability to make it longer. Which I do not believe he wants to for a few reasons.
- If Goodell does not extend the suspension longer he and the NFL will get a ton of backlash for not stepping in.
- If he does extend the suspension it under minds the whole process and makes you wonder what was even the point of this all.
- Also it opens up the scenario where Deshawn could and would sue the NFL for the suspension.
- Lastly I feel they want him to play. He is one of the biggest stars in the league. So why would they not want one of their money makers on the field.
It all just leaves me asking? Does The NFL Actually Want To Suspend Deshaun Watson?
