#2022 NFL season

as the NFL season approaches i would just like to take the time to say to Deshaun Watson, the Cleveland Browns’ organization and the NFL organization a big fuck you
if you are not aware of the situation surrounding Cleveland Browns’ new QB Deshaun Watson, let me fill you in a bit:
In March 2021, massage therapist Ashley Solis came forward and filed a claim of sexual misconduct against Watson. After Solis came forward another 23 - yes TWENTY THREE - women came forward and filed sexual misconduct lawsuits including 2 sexual assault lawsuits against the QB. In the cases of sexual assault it is said that Watson would force the massage therapists to perform oral intercourse on him and in one case grabbed a woman by her buttocks and vagina.
As NFL fans watched this situation unfold, many made the assumption that Watson’s days as an NFL player would be nothing short but over. But in the 2021-2022 season Watson was benched by the Houston Texans but was still a member of the organization and in March of this year he was traded to the Cleveland Browns. Upon his arrival the Cleveland Browns put out this statement..
Tumblr media
Which to me just sounds like “We really don’t care that he’s tied to sexually assaulting dozens of women and also we hate women but we’re going to act like we care”
Anyways as a result of Watson’s trial that was held yesterday former federal judge Sue L. Robinson found Watson guilty of violating the personal conduct policy and suspended him ONLY SIX GAMES. TWO DOZEN SEXUAL MISCONDUCT/ASSAULT LAWSUITS AND ONLY SUSPENDED SIX GAMES
For context, let’s go through a list of player suspensions for some insignificant offenses:
- Atlanta Falcons WR Calvin Ridley: suspended at least an entire season for betting money on games he had no involvement in.
- Kansas City WR Josh Gordon was suspended 78 games for smoking marijuana
- Arizona Cardinals WR Deandre Hopkins: suspended 6 games for using PEDs
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady: suspended 4 games for under inflated footballs
Although these suspensions may be valid in terms of some of the NFL’s policies. Once you see the suspensions I’m about to mention you’ll understand why I call those offenses “insignificant”
- Former Baltimore Ravens RB Ray Rice: suspended 2 games for domestic violence toward his fiancé
- Former NFL RB Adrian Peterson: suspended 6 games after being arrested for felony child abuse
- Former Carolina Panthers DE Greg Hardy: had his suspension lowered from 10 games to 4 after assaulting his girlfriend at the time
- Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliot: suspended 6 games for hitting women
- Former St. Louis Rams DE Leonard Little: suspended 8 games after committing vehicular homicide
- Former NFL WR Donte Stallworth: suspended 16 games after committing DUI Manslaughter
- Las Vegas Raiders WR Henry Ruggs III: charged with DUI resulting in death and has yet to be handed a penalty by the NFL
There are other cases and suspensions like this but I think you guys get the jist.
I am so sick and tired of these athletes getting away with these crimes just because of who they are and their status. It’s not fair that they get to ruin other people’s lives just to go about living their lives like nothing happened while leaving the victims to deal with the trauma. It’s time that the NFL and other sports organizations step up and hold these players accountable and ban them from playing in these leagues. Letting these athletes keep playing after committing these crimes sends the message to the young kids and anybody who watches those leagues that the crimes these men commit aren’t that serious and that there aren’t serious consequences for these actions. This could potentially switch the mentality of many young men to a very dangerous one.
As a young woman who enjoys the NFL and other sports it genuinely upsets and scares me how easily these athletes get off after committing these very serious crimes. It really goes to show how much these organizations don’t give a shit about women or any other minority or anyone/anything else in the sports world other than themselves and their pockets. It seems as though these leagues and athletes don’t care who gets hurt in the process as long as they get paid in the end. It’s truly sickening and terrifying to see what this world has come to.

TNF Preview, Week 8
Will the Ravens and Buccaneers produce fireworks? @knighthawk7734 previews the game and gives his Week 8 picks.
Finally, we get a good matchup for Thursday Night Football—on paper at least. When you see the Baltimore Ravens and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the schedule, you can’t help but get excited. The thing is, neither team has really been playing at that incredibly high level to this point. Still, this is an important game for both and could end up being a competitive contest. The Ravens are 4-3 and…

The Dallas Cowboys now have the highest winning percentage in NFL history
The Dallas Cowboys now have the highest winning percentage in NFL history
Following the Cowboys’ 22-10 win over the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys now have the highest winning percentage of all-time. According to StatMuse, the Dallas Cowboys are slightly ahead of the Green Bay Packers with the highest win percentage of any NFL team with over 200+ games played. What does this mean? It means the Dallas Cowboys are a winning franchise. Yes, it may not…
