She expressed her disapproval of the quarterback’s six-game suspension, saying the message states that the league doesn’t care:
Solis also noted in the press conference that she’s there to be a voice for those who felt they didn’t have the power to speak up:
NFL disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson, jointly appointed by the NFL and NFL Players Association, gave Watson a six-game suspension. However, the league is fighting the suspension via an appeal.
NFL Appeals Suspension of Watson
In their appeal, the league is seeking a minimum year-long ban, but also a proper fine and treatment. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell appointed former New Jersey Attorney General Peter C. Harvey to hear Watson’s appeal. Prior to Judge Robinson’s ruling, both the league and NFLPA tried to reach an agreement.
The league’s final deal pertained to a 12-game suspension and a fine of between eight and $10 million.
Ultimately, Watson’s side turned down the offer since they weren’t willing to agree to any deal that was going to suspend the quarterback for more than six to eight games. The former Houston Texans quarterback also wasn’t willing to sign off on a big fine.
We’ll see if the six-game suspension is upheld or if the Browns will be without their franchise quarterback for the entire 2022-23 season.
