It’s ok guys, embrace the sickness. I am outraged. I can show that outrage by not watching games that Watson plays in. I have heard of Browns fans who are finding other teams to root for. Likewise, I do not punish all of my children because one of them was bad. Would you punish the whole family if only one misbehaved? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cray51 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Im out of touch on the legal processes, but could the NFL appeal and keep the case in limbo for another year through the courts so Watson couldnt play? Trying to think if there were any appeals processes that would create a situation where Watson couldnt play while the appeal was active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 Just now, IronMaidenBills said: Because condemnation without physical action is complicity. We don’t want to admit it, but it is. We all have levels of tolerance and acceptance. The Bills are part of the NFL. People hate the “NFL” for this, but it won’t change because financially the NFL doesn’t get hurt by it. What motivation does the NFL have for change if it doesn’t get hit in the wallet? Behaviors don’t change unless people demand it. NFL only knows one thing, and that’s money. Again, this was a recommendation by the independent judge. If anyone hates the nfl for this at this stage of the game they can save the anger for if they don’t appeal. The nfl was fighting for more and may continue to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people have real disgust over the situation but it’s about Watson and his punishment. Doesn’t mean they won’t watch the Bills or nfl. Maybe someone said that? But I doubt that’s a widespread opinion. I think ironmaiden wants it to be a more widespread opinion though....to punish the NFL where they care. in their pocketbooks. Meh I hate this whole dramatic mess I will be curious as to how it all ends up. blech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the exact timetable for Goodell to then take a final decision but he can't string it out forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Just now, Ethan in Portland said: 15 min of playing time missed for every assault. Unbelievably low. Nice message sent. You can assault four women and only lose one game check and none of your signing bonus. Unreal. Josh Gordon lost multiple seasons for alcohol. At this point they would be better off having no personal conduct policy. They can't seem to ever get it right. Goodell should at least double it to force the union to defend this scum of a person. 15 minutes for every alleged assault. Clearly prosecutors are having problems with the allegations because so far they've declined to press charges. I'm not trying to defend the indefensible. I have daughters and despise sexual predators. If even one allegation is true, I want to see Watson do jail time. And if I had to guess, I'd guess that at least one of the allegations is true. But there's got to be some issues with the testimony because neither the legal system nor the NFL is coming down hard on Watson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watson won’t be the last case, there will be tons more players with issues and the NFL will just slap wrists because financially they have no reason to change their behavior. That’s all I’m saying. People can be outraged etc etc, but it won’t matter if said outraged fans still financially support the NFL through one of their revenue streams, ie the Bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Murdock Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Goodell will add 3 more games, to make it more than half the season. Seems about right. All but one of the complainants have settled (Likely costing Watson $millions). If their satisfied, who are we to judge? He's coming back at some point no matter what. Watson will live with this stain forever. He already has the contract. Folks will undoubtedly let their feelings be known at the stadiums, and in the streets. He's not going to EVER get an endorsement deal. Time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Add an extra zero to that and maybe it's a fair suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Ugh I wanted him out at least until they played us. Not that I think he's all that good, but why take the risk? Let's boo the crap out of him. He's scum. Even if they can't find criminal charges that stick, can we agree that he's a scumbag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
