Roger Goodell said Tuesday the NFL seeks a tougher penalty for Deshaun Watson because the QB's actions were 'egregious' and 'predatory behavior.' Watson was accused of sexual assault and other inappropriate conduct in civil lawsuits filed by 25 women.
The NFL, however, did not find evidence the team intentionally lost games during the 2019 season. In February, former Dolphins coach Brian Flores said in his lawsuit alleging racism in the league's hiring practices that Ross attempted to incentivize him to"tank,'' or purposely lose games, shortly after he was hired in 2019, with Ross allegedly offering Flores $100,000 for every loss that season.
"Well several things, the integrity of the game is critically important,'' Goodell said."I think the findings are very clear ... and while tanking clearly did not happen here, we all have to understand our words, our actions have implications and we have to be careful.'' She also said in the report Watson engaged in conduct that posed"a genuine danger to the safety and well-being of another person, and conduct that undermines or puts at risk the integrity of the NFL.''
While relying on precedent, Robinson sought to differentiate between violent and nonviolent sexual conduct. Robinson concluded Watson's conduct"does not fall into the category of violent conduct that would require the minimum six-game suspension'' the league had established as"by far the most commonly-imposed discipline for domestic or gendered violence and sexual acts.
