“So Deshaun might miss 2 games for alleged ASSAULT while Tom Brady missed 4 for deflategate”: Twitter goes crazy after reports of Deshaun Watson getting only 2-8 game suspension surface
Tom Brady and Deshaun Watson
Deshaun Watson is a name to reckon with in the world of the NFL. He signed a massive deal with the Cleveland Browns a little while ago but apart from that, the man has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. He was alleged by several women on charges of molestation and sexual harassment.
Moreover, it is not even sure if quarterback Deshaun Watson will be able to feature for the Cleveland Browns in the upcoming season. The NFL is inclined on handing out severe punishment to the quarterback for his involvement in the sexual harassment cases.

In fact, it was reported by NFL Insider Charles Robinson, that the NFL has the option to either go with Sue Robinson’s decision on finalizing the punishment for Deshaun or ask for an year-long suspension in case the league isn’t satisfied with Robinson’s call.
As soon as the speculations of NFL asking for a year-long suspension started surfacing, it was reported that in that case, Deshaun and his team, along with the NFLPA will sue the league and now, as per NFL Insider Mark Florio, Deshaun might face only a 2-8 game suspension.
As soon as this report gained momentum, innumerable NFL fans started voicing their opinions on Twitter. While his supporters were happy to hear it, a lot of people were left fuming. Some even claimed that if Tom Brady can be suspended for 4 games over deflategate, then Deshaun deserves way more than 2-8 game suspension as accusations against him are way too severe.
Some fans also compared Deshaun’s suspension to that of Calvin Ridley’s. Here are a few reactions
