Marcus Hayes: Deshaun Watson’s 6-game NFL suspension for ‘nonviolent sexual conduct’ is a disgrace

In 2018, Jameis Winston was suspended three games for groping a female Uber driver inappropriately. One driver. Once.

In 2022, Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson reportedly will be suspended only six games for allegedly inappropriate sexual behavior toward at least 24 female massage therapists over a 12-month span, from March 2020 to March 2021, when he played for the Houston Texans. Twenty-four times as many women, 365 times as many days lapsed, but just twice as many games suspended.

He allegedly exposed his genitals. He allegedly forced more than one therapist to perform oral sex. The NFL’s disciplinary officer said Watson engaged in a pattern of “nonviolent sexual conduct.”
