Eleven games and chump change for something 'egregious' and 'predatory'
Except, instead of clubs used on the accused — when it comes to most anything involving players and their horrid history of treating women, anyway — the NFLians swiped their usual velociraptor feather on the wrist.No “thank you, sir, may I have another?” to this. The League stopped short. Maybe Watson felt a bit of a breeze from his sigh of relief as he — and the quarterback’s team, the mighty Browns — were allowed to slip by the slumbering guards and go over the wall.
For what? Why would he settle, to avoid further scandal? Scandal was firmly in place, and remains permanently set there. The woman who hasn’t dropped the suit says it’s because Watson has shown no remorse.Watson at first was pawed with a six-game suspension by an arbiter, but the NFL exercised its right to appeal. Commissioner Roger Goodell found Watson’s actions “egregious” and “predatory,” and wanted a one-year suspension.
Watson did not play for the Texans last year and got full salary . He was traded to Cleveland during the offseason — while under accusation — and Haslam awarded him with a guaranteed $230 million contract, with a $44.7 million signing bonus. The League, with its abominable history in such matters — Google up offenders such as Tyreek Hill — allows them to play and make millions.Haslam was asked if the reason Watson was wrist-slapped had to do with him being a star quarterback. “Of course.”Egregious and predatory? No problem. Is it a remarkable coincidence Watson’s first game back will be against Houston? Ratings, man. Mucho dinero.
