Was his for the multiple sexual assault charges?

Did he actually get charged? I know he settled a bunch of civil suits but I don't think he faced any criminal charges. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

That was what I was wondering. If he’s not guilty then why suspend him. If he is guilty then why not permanent ban?

The NFL is in the reputation management game these days. Can you imagine what would have happened to the 1990s Cowboys roster in today’s world?

They were just talking about that on NFL Network. Little to no reason or motivation for Jimmy G to be a placeholder for DeShaun. On the other hand, that would be a very Browns thing to do. Bring in a severely overpaid average QB as a rental. As a Steelers fan, I endorse that idea. I hope they give up really good draft picks to do it.

Not charged. Nearly 30 lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct/assault. Keep in mind, Big Ben didn’t have any charges brought against him either and he got a six game suspension and it was brought down to four after appeal. That was for two women. One of which supposedly bragged to coworkers about her encounters with Ben for quite some time before deciding to press charges. Seems to me that Watson got off easy.

There’s a MLB pitcher, who will be suspended for two full seasons, three seasons if you include time served while fighting the DV charges. But MLB has decided to ignore the prosecutors decision (see below) and enforce its own punishment.

After a thorough review of all the available evidence ... the People are unable to prove the relevant charges beyond a reasonable doubt”

My question is a legal one. How can a League commissioner ignore a courts decision without facing serious litigation?

Real class being shown in Cleveland




Of course, the irony is....if this guy played for the opposing team and was playing in that stadium, these same people would have had signs attacking the player for his actions.

Of course. What's more important than winning football games?

It's all tribalistic BS but I'm still loving browns fans proving that they truly are what they have said Steelers fans are for the last ten years.

You bought into it. You asked for it.

Yeah, the Steelers ex-QB only got accused of it twice. So...clearly shows that all things Steelers are much less egregious. And therefore better.

And you're still a total A-hole about the Steelers. Just ignore my posts. You totally misunderstood me and I'm not going to waste my time explaining it to you.

I am going to drop in and roast you now whenever I feel like it, since you feel you can do that to me whenever you want, A-hole.

Did not get charged. Irrelevant to possible punishment under NFL personal conduct policy.
