The NFL suspended Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson for six games on Monday for violating its personal conduct policy following accusations of sexual misconduct.
Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson walks during an NFL football practice in Berea, Ohio.Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson was suspended for six games Monday for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy following accusations of sexual misconduct made against him by two dozen women in Texas, two people familiar with the decision said.
If either side appealed, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell or someone he designates will make the decision, per terms of the collective bargaining agreement. The union then could try to challenge that ruling in federal court. This was the first case for Robinson, a former U.S. district judge who was jointly appointed by the NFL and the union to handle player misconduct - a role previously held by Goodell.
Watson's high-profile case has renewed scrutiny of the league's handling of player misbehavior, along with its support for women, and left the Browns wondering if they'll ever find a franchise quarterback. During his introductory news conference after he was traded to Cleveland, Watson was adamant about his innocence.
