Are you trying to set a record for the most incorrect things in a single post? I think the punishment was too light as well, but juses crust, this type of hyperbole is just counter productive.

Not hyperbole. Just pointing out how you can rape women and it's totally fine with the NFL but if you break any other rule it becomes rules are rules.

I might be missing something, but he wasn't accused of rape, was he? To be clear, I think his suspension should at least a full season.

Either two or three women (three, I think) alleged forced sexual contact of some kind. Pretty sure at least two said he forced oral sex.

The NFL will likely appeal just simply because the optics look better for them.

Then they can point to the female arbitrator and say, "Well she said this was what it is!"

Convenient scapegoat for an organization that in reality would rather Watson paid them all to STFU and this never come to light at all.

Yes he was by one. He forced her to have sex with him. I don't know your definition of rape but that's mine. He also sexually assaulted almost every other one. Might not be penetration but still a crime.

Imagine if someone broke into your house but not just your house but everyones on the block. Then they get caught, eyewitness point them out in mug shots. Now imagine if the DA just picks the house where no one was home to prosecute and disregarded everyone else's account. That's what the NFL just did.

A cynical part of me wonders if this whole turn of events was orchestrated with that in mind. 

The NFL turned into the WWE a long time ago.  Pretty much aligns with when they named Goodell the commissioner.  All they need is the officials not noticing when that linebacker sneaks the chain saw onto the field.

Got it. I had forgotten about that. Did he already get tried and aquitted?

Grand Jury failed to indict.

An awful lot of people feel like the DA deliberately softballed the case. The fact that they met repeatedly with the defense as part of the process is kind of telling.

The NFL has become one of the worst sports organizations in the world when it comes to reading optics.

They deserve a massive backlash over this, and frankly I hope they get it.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
