NFL appeals Deshaun Watson's 6-game suspension
CBSN
The National Football League Wednesday appealed Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson's six-game suspension, NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy said. Watson on Monday was suspended by retired federal Judge Sue L. Robinson, who determined Watson had violated the league's personal conduct policy after 24 women accused him of sexual misconduct during massage treatments.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will appoint a designee to hear the appeal, McCarthy said.
In her 16-page report, Robinson described Watson's behavior as "more egregious than any before reviewed by the NFL."
