And the NFL wonders why people think so poorly of it....
Calvin Ridley just got suspended a full season for betting on his own team to win.

Former federal judge Sue L. Robinson has found that Deshaun Watson violated the personal conduct policy and has suspended him six games, per source.

I'm not so sure. The reaction to his light suspension is nearly universal. Even non sports outlets are condemning it loudly.MeatHeadbengal wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 8:21 pmI doubt that's going to happen.Bengals1 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 8:06 pmApparently the NFL can appeal this ruling.

The outcry may be more than Beavis can ignore. The league has its reputation to consider here.

League sources and legal experts predict that the NFL will exercise its right to file an appeal and that Roger Goodell will significantly increase the punishment levied against #Browns QB Deshaun Watson.

NFL appeals Deshaun Watson six-game suspension
Posted by Michael David Smith on August 3, 2022
The NFL wants to suspend Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson more than six games.
That became clear today when the league announced that it will appeal discipline officer Sue Robinson’s decision to suspend Watson six games.
Although Robinson was jointly hired by the NFL and NFL Players Association, for the appeal the deck is stacked in the NFL’s favor: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell decides who hears the appeal, or Goodell can choose to hear the appeal himself. Goodell has not said who will hear the appeal of Watson’s suspension.
But whoever hears it, it’s highly likely that the NFL will prevail, and Watson will face a longer suspension — perhaps for the entire 2022 season.
