On Aug. 18, Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson was officially suspended for 11 games of the 2022 NFL season for sexual misconduct. Along with the suspension, Watson will also receive a fine of $5 million from the NFL.
Watson should have been suspended for at least one season, and the fact that he is even going to play this season is a bad look for the NFL.
The first thing that needs to be considered is the case itself. Throughout his career, Watson had been sexually assaulting women during message sessions.
In total, 24 lawsuits were filed against the quarterback, with most of them being settled.
