Yahoo lays out NFL's push for Deshaun Watson punishment

Yahoo Sports investigative reporter Charles Robinson reports that the NFL had an idea that they were not getting the year-long suspension the league was pushing for with former Clemson star Deshaun Watson.
Per his reporting, they are pushing for one of two outcomes:
1) "Watson would be suspended indefinitely for one year. During that year, he would undergo an element of treatment related to the behavior established in his case. At the end of the year, Watson would apply for reinstatement and if he meets the league’s criteria, he will come back into the fold for the Browns."
2) "Watson would be subject to a significant fine if his suspension is ultimately less than one year. Similar to the first outcome, he would also have to undergo treatment during his suspension. Think of this scenario as mapping with the league’s last settlement volley in July, which would have suspended Watson 12 games and fined him something near the neighborhood of his 2021 salary of $10.5 million. It would be a considerable financial cost for Watson, but also one that ends with him returning to the NFL without having to apply for reinstatement or tolling his current contract for one year."
Robinson calls any fight against those outcomes "an uphill battle."

wants in terms of player punishments following "arbitration", then it's not really arbitration at all that transpired earlier, it's just a meaningless dog and pony show.

Yep, and anybody that's ever ask to be an arbitrator for the NFL again, should say, suck it NFL! If you believe that an arbitrator was fair and impartial, you want to step back in with an attempt to break it off in the person that you asked an arbitrator to judge. Screw you NFL, do your own dirty work, and stop asking others to do it for you to dodge public opinion of just how unjust and unfair the heads of the NFL truly are, bc that is what you wanted from an arbitrator, to be unfair, and unjust to take the heat off the NFL, suck it, suck it, SUCK IT you motherless mother truckers!!!!!

Sooooo…..just wanna make sure I’m clear on this. So an independent arbitrator (judge) says the punishment that fits the “crime” best is 6 games….
NFL brass doesn’t agree and they appeal……and the appeal is presided over by Goodell?? How the F does that work???
Why even have an arbitrator
