So Watson gets 6 games but Ridley a whole season?

No way it stays at 6 games. Time will tell.

So one game for every 5 women assaulted?

Damn, Zeke got screwed.

 

[Go Budaw]

Its not finalized. Goodell has the authority to appeal the 3rd party arbitrator. Allegedly the league office’s recommendation was a one year ban.

The NFL wanted more games and a huge fine. I wouldn't be surprised if they appeal.

The NFL’s discipline policy is laughable. Sean Payton getting a whole year in 2012 for players getting a little cash for hitting qbs and Brady getting a 4 game suspension in 2015, successfully appealing then getting re suspended for 4 games in 2016 for potentially deflating footballs is still ridiculous

I agree with you, but the NFL isn't the one that suspended Watson. It was a person that both the NFL and NFLPA agreed to act as arbiter and make the final solution.

 

[curseddawgs]

Yeah I should’ve said the discipline process and decision making in pro football is ridiculous

Actions that affect or could potentially affect the on-field product are always treated as more severe by leagues than off-field actions that are essentially (from the league's perspective) just bad PR

How is betting on your team to win going to change the outcome of the game?

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

I would be pissed if I was Zeke. His was more of a case of a scorned ex girlfriend.

 

[Go Budaw]

Bump….NFL has officially appealed the suspension. NFLPA and Watson stated previously they would file suit if this happened. Grab your popcorn.
