NFL appeals Deshaun Watson six week suspension (they want a year)

BEREA, Ohio -- The NFL on Wednesday appealed the six-game suspension for Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, seeking a tougher penalty under the league's personal conduct policy in the wake of disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson's ruling Monday.

The league said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will determine who will hear the appeal. Under the collective bargaining agreement, Goodell has the option to consider the appeal himself or can appoint a designee to do so.

A source told ESPN that the NFL is appealing for an indefinite suspension that would be a minimum of one year (as it had previously sought), a monetary fine (which Watson was not levied by Robinson) and treatment that the star quarterback must undergo.

Whenever the ruling is made, it will be final and binding to all parties.

I am so sick of seeing his disgusting face on TV here in Cleveland. He is a sleeze bag…I hate the owners of the Browns for hiring him.
