Calvin Ridley gets a whole year's suspension for betting a whole $1500 that his own team would win.
Plaxico Burress got a four-game suspension because he shot himself in the leg. (rocket scientist...)
However...
Ray Rice beat up his fiance`...two games
Greg Hardy beats the hell out of his girlfriend...ten games, which was reduced to four.
Donta Stallworth got sixteen games for vehicular homocide.
DeShaun Watson, a serial sexual assaulter, will now serve a six-game suspension.
Good look, NFL. Good look.
Not a Watson fan but just a few thoughts
The Lawyer is a known ambulance chaser and schiester (he represents all the girls)
Watson says he is innocent
He was tried in court of law two times and was found NOT GUILTY each time
It has cost him every sponsor he ever hoped to have and 1/12 seasons of football
If you look at the claims they aren't anywhere near rape or anything near
These girls give massages and go to guys homes alone. I am sure what he did probably happens to them 50% of the time (robert Kraft)
Not saying he didn't roll his pecker over on their arm accidently" but what if...
He is telling the truth..
the lawyer is making a money play
he never did anything unwanted with these girls
he has lost 2 years of his career, his reputation, all sponsors and millions of dollars
he has been found not guilty by a court of law twice
and still gets hit with a 6 game suspension
I think it's fine, leave the guy alone and let him play.. if he was guilty of hitting on these massage girls.. he has served a severe punishment.
Fuck the court of public opinion. We have a president in office who was accused, lady filed a report that was found as credible (Tara Reid). Her claims were 10 times worse than anything Watson did and he is still president. Trump is on tape saying he used to grab girls by the Pu$$y which is worse and more proveable than any of these claims and he still is president, Bill Clinton... well you know.. that list is too long to go into..
Why would we hold a football player who has been found innocent to a higher standard than the presidents of the USA?
