TLDR: the letter said "let he without sexual misconduct allegations cast the first stone"

The argument of “you were a shitty organization before when it came to crimes against women, so you still need to be one now” is not a strong one, in my opinion.

Huh. "Either stop being shitty entirely, or continue being exactly as shitty as before" was a successful negotiating tactic and the basis of a compromise. I mean ... alright.

It kinda sounds like it is, legally. Hammering one guy when everyone else skates seems unfair, from a legal perspective, not exactly a moral perspective.

Why did you use quotation marks? I ask, because there was an expletive. I looked and did not find the words you quote in the SI article

He was paraphrasing

gerund or present participle: paraphrasing

express the meaning of (the writer or speaker or something written or spoken) using different words, especially to achieve greater clarity.

"you can either quote or paraphrase literary texts"

This suspension will forever baffle me. I could have understood both outcomes on the other ends of the spectrum, but not 11 games. Suspending him at least a year if not for good made sense if they believed he was guilty. They could have not suspended him at all since he was never charged with anything and you have to treat him as not-guilty if the courts did. Suspending him for 11 games means they believe he is guilty and that somehow they think all that is only worth 11 games. It makes zero sense.

The Cleveland Browns franchise QB is a sexual predator. He refuses to admit any fault but settled with almost all of them. What a a pathetic excuse for a man. A man who is supposedly a god fearing Christian. The NFL has always been a metaphor for life. If you’re rich and talented you can get away with anything.

My guess is it’s money based? Just a shot in the dark…

I hope he gets booed mercilessly every time he takes the football field for the rest of his career.

I’m glad some of his victims will be attending. I agree with Kimes and Spears.

Yeah, I mean if he eats shit the entire game and they lose it might be cathartic, but if he throws for 300+ yards and 4 touchdowns it probably isn’t gonna feel so great.

They're going to garner attention. It's to remind viewers that despite DW receiving snaps, it doesn't undo what was done, and people shouldn't forget.

not to mention there is definitely going to be chants regarding Watson's actions which could be traumatic for the victims

It’s not really meant to do anything, it’s just publicity to help keep the case in the news.

Find it funny only came out after he requested a trade and said he wouldn't play for them, seems like they were bitter and wanted to ruin his name nothing more they were enablers off it while he was aon good terms tho. They could care less about the "victims"
