So, I'm not sure he needs more time out but no fines are where I think this went wrong.
The idea that Watson served a de facto suspension in Houston last year is folly. People, he didn't want to play for the Texans and was paid to not do so. That is not a suspension. Please.

After years of complaints about Goodell handing out punishments randomly, they get an independent judge. A woman, in a case like this, and they still get a decision that'll upset nearly the entire country
She's an arbitration judge the NFL brought in. She was probably told what the NFL would like and tried to carry that. [Reply]

Yep, which is why I doubt they choose to add any games. [Reply]

What is hardly being mentioned is that the NFL only gave her information regarding 4 women. So, she based her decision on that information, rather than all 24 women. [Reply]
This whole thing is just… off. We all know the league won’t be, but they should be incredibly transparent as to what the 6 game suspension is for and why it isn’t more.
Just everything about this whole situation is suspicious and he didn’t serve a suspension last season, he sat out and didn’t want to play. [Reply]

The whole thing is just some Deflategate-type bullshit designed to keep fans watching the WWNFL soap opera during the offseason.
Look, I'm sure what he did was criminally culpable. In fact...I know it is.
If my poor white ass had been going around doing what he did, I would be going to PRISON.
Instead, Deshaun got PAID...and is paying those women off. You think the NFL wants Roger handing out the Sixer?
Nah. They brought in a FEMALE judge for "arbitration", so that Watson can serve his suspension move on, business as usual.
How much time did Big Ben get for either rape he committed?
He didn't.
I laugh when people bring up "racism" you fucking idiots. It's CLASSISM.
OJ didn't get hemmed up for murder because money.
Bill Cosby went home because of money
Deshaun Watson will never go to prison for raping 20-odd women because MONEY
Next time anyone wants to cry about "raysussism" in the court...tell them that a few million dollars makes the racism just disappear. Like Magic. Who somehow found a cure for HIV. (Spoiler - it's money) [Reply]
DW is a huge POS and still doesn't think what he did was wrong.
While Sue Robinson's 6-game suspension falls notably short of the indefinite suspension of at least 1-year that the NFL was seeking, I'm told Deshaun Watson's counsel & reps are currently displeased with the ruling. Watson's side still firmly maintain it should have been 0 games.
