Okay. Charge is one thing. Convicted is another. Video of sex is not evidence of solicitation. There were plenty of ways to get the vid thrown out without pulling strings. Do you know what constitutes solicitation?
Update: Deshaun Watson is suspended 11 games and fined $5 million dollars

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says evidence calls for at least full-year suspension for Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. -- NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Tuesday the league seeks a tougher penalty for Deshaun Watson because the quarterback's actions were "egregious'' and "predatory behavior.''
Last week, the NFL formally appealed Watson's six-game suspension, which was handed down by the NFL's disciplinary officer Sue. L Robinson earlier this month. At a league meeting called to formally approve the Denver Broncos' new ownership group Tuesday, Goodell was asked why the NFL appealed Robinson's decision and was seeking a suspension of at least a year for the Cleveland Browns quarterback.
"We've seen the evidence, she was very clear about the evidence, she reinforced the evidence,'' Goodell said. "There were multiple violations that were egregious and it was predatory behavior.''

I don't understand. Did this dude Rape Someone? FORCED a woman to do something against her will? Did he drug any of them?
If he asked a therapist to do something, she could've just said no. Where's the HARD evidence that shows that this dude forced one of these chicks to do something against her will? Where is it?
If any one of us went to a massage therapist (that wasn't one of them happy ending joints) and asked a chick to cuff our balls they would throw us the fuck out.
Not for nothing, some of those chicks saw a Superstar Athlete and agreed to do what he asked hoping something would come out of it.

I've been a fan of Watson since he was in high school.
Dude is a predator.
There is no defending any of his actions.
The NFLPA needs to appeal any suspension based off the lack of punishment the owners got but my D. Watson has some real predatory behavior.
Is this first-hand knowledge?
This is interesting Rog...
So if the public outcry gets Watson a year suspension?
What bullsh*t covered mental gymnastics are they gonna pull to justify Dan Snyder before and now?
And Kraft before?
Cause I would think using your nfl franchise to pimp cheerleaders for your old white rich friends is just as bad as jerking off in front of an army of massage therapists.
If we keeping a pervert tally Commish
If that's true, then what about all of those other men who got arrested in that sting? Surely at least some (if not most) of the men were found guilty.
And yes, what you hear about what goes on in those massage parlors (I mean the seedy ones) is solicitation. It's not easy to be acquitted in a sting...and a solicitation conviction is not what you want on any of your personal records.
You don't know what happened in those cases. Arrests are often for show. FWIW I have been defending these cases for longer than I've been on this board, so I am not trolling you.
What occurs to me is that maybe the NFL is playing this to keep the 6 day suspension while appearing to be outraged like the public. If Goodell felt so strongly about increasing the penalty he could have done it himself, but instead he hired out the job. If there is a provision in the CBA requiring him to farm out the appeal I'd like to see the clause. Otherwise it is possible this is all for effect. It's not as if he or the NFL have any credibility to lose.

Now that he is retired they talk about his rape allegations every damn time Watson or Snyder is mentioned

Ok, you got it, man. I'm done. Peace.
Second hand from the 60+ women that were his prey.
Those poor hoes.
How did he prey? Did he insinuate that if they didn't tug on the ole Twig and Berries he would make sure they never got another Texans client?
How did he press them to act? Or did he lead them on that he liked them and wanted more and just dogged them out after he skeeted?

He wasn't even going after women that were certified physical therapist.
He was using his influence as the face of a franchise to get away with way more than the average man would.
Over 60 women.
Wait so you're saying since HS dude been Pill Cosbying women?
Because he picked 60+ women dude
He's a football player, they get free massages.Professional ones, if he actually cares about his body.
Part of him getting OFF literally was obvious their reaction and the voyeur aspect. It's just like reality TV and trying to prank people. And all of them say the same shit, even the ones who would try to support him that he would have a small towel over his dick and be hard.
If he just wanted sex he would have gone to a sex worker or picked one, not have them all over the country and of course he could pick their appearance based on looks from their IG.
It's some weirdo perv shit. It's like peeping toms and dudes who flash women.
Jacking your dick around some stranger you just met is some weirdo shit. That's the shit that Louis CK used to do.
I was thinking that before the hearing. They let it be known that the league wants a year so 8f he gets less, they can say "we did everything we could do." What I gather from the first ruling was that the judge believes the allegations but, based on the cba, she could only give him 6 games. I wouldn't be surprised if it stays at 6.

Translation: Shit just got really real. This thing is going to be dictated by public outcry, and them letting him play tonight is poking the bear. Don't know if I'd do this if I was Cleveland, but I also understand he hasn't faced live bullets in almost 2 years.
This is bullshit. I don't condone what he did,, but you hired an arbitrator....if you wanted a full year why go through the dog n pony of arbitration? Just bang the hammer at a year and be done with it.....
Dragging this shit out for months for what?!
BTW I'm still not off of Kraft and Roethlisbergers "allegations."..... but moving on!
He already lost a year of play. He's still getting paid so how exactly are you punishing him?
He surely has a financial plan in place to recoup or weather the storm of a year of lost pay.
May as well let him earn the money and make him do a Micheal Vick community service tour in his free time to atone.
