The Cleveland Browns quarterback says he doesn’t know why he’s in this “situation” and has no regrets.
After two grand juries in Texas declined to pursue criminal charges against Watson earlier this year, the quarterback’s case was decided by retired federal judge and disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson—a joint hire by the NFL and the NFL Players’ Association—who was nominated by George Bush to serve on the U. S. District Court in Delaware in 1991.
Both sides have three days to submit a written appeal, though the NFLPA already issued a joint statement with Watson stating theythe ruling and have chosen to honor the grand juries’ previous rulings. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is expected to appeal the decision, and, according to Article 46 of the NFLPA’s CBA, “will issue a written decision that will constitute full, final and complete disposition of the dispute.
As if the United States’ sense of justice isn’t already butchered to all hell, it appears the only place Black men are guaranteed vindication is in the court of football, where serious crimes disintegrate into simple “misconduct,” and “Get Out of Jail Free” cards are doled out like Halloween candy.
