Robinson for violating the league's personal conduct policy. Commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL, however, decided it was not enough and appealed the decision. They want his punishment to be made indefinite or, at least, for a full season. According to Shannon Sharpe, host of Undisputed, this would allow the commissioner to enforce therapy sessions on Watson in an effort to get the Cleveland Browns quarterback to show some kind of remorse for what he’s done. Sharpe’s co-host, Skip Bayless, weighed in on the NFL’s appeal as well, saying the league "dropped the hammer" on the quarterback. "My biggest takeaway is that commissioner Goodell just dropped the hammer on Deshaun Watson, and the hammer's name is Peter C. Harvey, friend of the NFL. So, let's quickly reiterate what Sue L. Robinson ruled on the NFL’s problem with Deshaun Watson. "The NFL alleged that Deshaun engaged in sexual assault, and Sue L. Robinson said absolutely correct. 100% He did." Bayless went on, laying out each issue and decision set forth by Robinson. "The NFL alleged that Deshaun, his conduct, posed a genuine danger to the safety and well-being of another person. And Sue L. said absolutely. I interviewed four of them and absolutely, in each case, posed a genuine danger. "Allegation number three that Deshaun's conduct has undermined the integrity of the NFL and Sue L. said boom dropped her gavel. Absolutely. You are 100% correct, NFL, it's almost like if you do it as a football score." Deshaun Watson was given a six game suspension based on precedents set by the NFL in the past Cleveland Browns Mandatory Minicamp The new investigation means that there is a possibility the appeal may not be settled before the new football season begins. In this scenario, Watson could end up starting Week 1 for the Browns and possibly even a game or two afterward.

Robinson was based on precedents set by the NFL in the past. Ben Roethlisberger, for example, was accused of sexual assault on two separate occasions. Although no legal action was taken in the second case, the NFL suspended Roethlisberger for six games for violating the personal conduct policy. Although the first case was settled out of court, the NFL took absolutely no action at all. If you use any of the above quotes, please credit Undisputed and H/T Sportskeeda.
