Deshaun Watson, quarterback of the Cleveland Browns, who was suspended for six games will now have to face an 11-game suspension. Retired judge Sue L. Robinson found Watson guilty of violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy and announced that he would be suspended for 6 games with no fine.
However, the NFL appealed judge Robinson’s verdict which was well within their rights, and asked for a longer suspension. Due to the league’s objection, Watson is now facing an increased suspension. He will be out until Week 13 and fined a hefty sum of $5 million.

Deshaun Watson was accused of sexual misconduct by over two dozen women last year. The New York Times found out that Watson had alleged had more than 60 messages within the span of a few months. However, there were only 24 brave women who stepped into the limelight and sought justice for the quarterback’s heinous actions.
Since this became a global issue considering that Watson is among the best QBs in the league, people are well aware of the controversy and almost all are not satisfied with an 11-game suspension. Many critics and players have been vocal about their stand on Watson’s suspension and wished that the NFL should’ve asked for an indefinite suspension.
But there are two people who are not happy with Deshaun Watson being suspended. A father and son, who are Cleveland Browns fans have been showing their support for the 26-year-old signal-caller. The father-son duo was snapped holding placards that read: “F**k them hoes. Free Watson.” This has enraged NFL fans all around the globe and their Twitter reactions show how insulting this is for every woman who has been hurt by Watson’s actions.

2/are protesting his suspension. The way we socialize children to view women & the lengths we go to to exculpate men- especially ones who have special talent like athletes, politicians, etc..is indicative of how deeply rooted misogyny is in our culture. Shameful.

The criminal system is not the best barometer. The police officers who shot Tamir Rice & Mike Brown also were not indicted for murder. That doesn’t mean they didn’t murder them.

Such a devastatingly pathetic display by a parent. Beyond gross.

This is how misogyny and rape culture get upheld. Sick.

You know I am really starting to think Brown's fans deserved the last 50 years.
