The NFL Thread 2: 1. T Swift

Like when Christian Hackenberg was hitting coaches on the sideline while trying to complete fly routes to receivers.

Only he was a second round pick lol

6 games seems to be what’s leaking.

On top of that headline, imagine choosing this as your opener:

Personal feelings and long-buried trauma aside, the Browns’ quest for a championship remains alive.

oh-no-you-didnt-pout

[And for anyone tempted to say, “But writers don’t write their headlines!”, this is the closing sentence of the article: Barring an NFL appeal that would usurp the new process instituted with Robinson, Monday’s decision was the first victory of 2022.]

can’t believe that media in ohio would be soft on this kind of thing

6 games seems to be the precedent for things that made the news but didn’t get charged with a crime

sure you might argue that watson’s doings are worse than say domestic violence but that guy who ruled that did not

A woman ruled that did not

This is also going to cost him about $350,000 in lost salary

I’m guessing that Roethlisberger’s suspension factored heavily in the decision.

Yeah, I think that’s what she meant by “shift in culture without fair notice.” No way Watson could know the NFL would consider a couple dozen sexual assaults worth anything more than 6 games, since NFL hadn’t done anything to indicate they cared much about that stuff until after the public decided that behavior wasn’t cool. But also I’m learning from Browns twitter that he was found innocent on all counts so why is he being punished at all?

Watson gonna have to get his masseuses from clubs in Cleveland? I mean does Cleveland even have clubs?

Bet he wish Miami signed him now.

The ruling relied on 32 previous suspensions under the league’s personal conduct policy since 2015. In 21 of those instances, the league suspended the player for six games, including the cases of Derrius Guice and Johnny Manziel. Greg Hardy was suspended for four games.

The longest suspension – 10 games for Jarron Jones in 2021 – involved a criminal plea and multiple incidents of domestic violence. The two eight-game suspensions – of Kareem Hunt in 2019 and Mark Walton in 2020 – also took into account multiple incidents of domestic violence.

Sources close to Watson say they believe six games is too much, but they respect the decision, sources told ESPN’s Dianna Russini.

In the eyes of the NFL, selling memorabilia for tattoos is 84% as bad as two dozen allegations of sexual assault.

And not just allegations of sexual assault. The judge concluded that the NFL met the burden to prove there was sexual assault.
