The lawyer for the roughly two dozen women who accused Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson of sexual misconduct slammed NFL commissioner Roger Goodell after the league agreed to an 11-game suspension and $5 million fine for the Browns quarterback on Thursday.
Tony Buzbee said Goodell — who sought a longer suspension for Watson after a judge handed down a six-game ban — sent a message to victims that they should not speak up.
“By settling this matter the way he has, Roger Goodell has proven one of two things: either his recent rhetoric was utter baloney, or his bark is much worse than his bite,” Buzbee said in a statement to multiple outlets.
