The NFL claims the quarterback violated the league’s code of conduct and should be punished for it. But when will the announcement be?
July is a possible date for the announcement.
With the NFL Players Association, Deshawn Watson is preparing an appeal against any penalty. The argument used is very simple. When team owners were accused of such behavior, the NFL never penalized them. They mention people like Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, and Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder.
All these men were also accused by women and did not suffer any consequences for this. The NFL has set July 22 as the date the world will know how they will punish Deshawn Watson, but the picture doesn’t look good for him.
