Roger finally has chance to hit a player with a sledgehammer of punishment AND be a hero in the eye of the public. No way does that egomaniac pass on that opportunity.

It's a joke and his response is based on the court of public opinion. I know people like to talk about how popular the NFL is but it consistently has the weakest union of the three major sports. I'm not interested in a moral discussion but if Kraft faced no penalty, then Watson should not be out for a year without a criminal conviction. One owner is basically pimping cheerleaders and a culture of harassment but they need to make a point with Watson.Yeah it doesn't make much sense. Why would the NFLPA agree to having an arbitration process that Goodell can simply overturn? I swear it's like a Jedi mind trick or something. "So you don't want me to have the final say on punishments? Okay well how about this, we bring in a neutral third party to act as an arbitrator and decide the appropriate punishment. Then I'll look at it and decide whether or not they got it right and make changes as needed. Sounds fair right? Alright I'm glad we figured that out, sign here."
The NFL always has the NFLPA chasing its own tail about things that don't matter as much. While the NFLPA is worried about practice time and weed tests Goodell somehow manages to keep the final say on punishments.
I think Watson deserves more than 6 games but if you set up an arbitration process that can be completely dismissed then why have it at all? Why not have another neutral third party hear the appeal?
I think it does matter. How much is a suspension really worth if there's no real monetary hit to the player? It's a freaking vacation. Maybe Roger will fine the guy 1\5 of his 5 year contract.It doesn't matter much to how much regular-season salary Watson loses.
It is the owner’s NFL. Goodell was appointed the commisioner. He is really the COO, who reports to 32 CEO’s.I’m not confused at all. Despite my bring very upset at the leniency of Watson’s punishment, this is Goodell’s NFL. Roger is gonna Roger. He has a long history of backhanded, slimy business.
The appeal will not fail necessarily, depending on the final punishment intended.In my opinion... All suspension should be decided by a 3rd party judge.
All NFL is doing to save face for PR. The appeal will fail.
Absolutely. But he's still a slimy dude doing slimy business.It is the owner’s NFL. Goodell was appointed the commisioner. He is really the COO, who reports to 32 CEO’s.
Once Watson is suited up, the public is not going to care. He's a creep for sure, but he did not rape, and he settled almost all the cases. Football is an escape and obsession for most and thus watching the game is far more valued by the public than judgement of his off-field conduct.how the public views what Watson did.

He's rich and famous so his odds of not being punished the way we would be are very high.
