Robert Griffin III on Deshaun Watson's punishment
The NFL recently announced that it had come to an agreement with the NFLPA regarding the Deshaun Watson suspension. The agreed-upon punishment of an 11-game suspension and $5 million fine is not adequate according to many around the NFL. Another person highly critical of the NFL and the punishment is Robert Griffin III the former no.2 overall pick.
It’s been quite some time since we last saw RGIII on the field. Once one of the most electric players in the league, his career was always riddled with injuries and it seems to have come to an end he has now transitioned to a post-NFL career as a football analyst. Griffin has been known to speak his mind and he didn’t hold back when he tweeted about the NFL’s increased suspension of Deshaun Watson.
Robert Griffin III on vented his anger on Deshaun Watson
Griffin, who is himself a father to 3 daughters felt that the NFL should have utilized this opportunity to show it had learned and rectified its mistake of not standing up for women in the past. He took to his official Twitter account to vent his displeasure on the punishment given to the quarterback.
Robert Griffin wrote, “The NFL had an opportunity to show it had learned from its ugly history on standing up for Women with this Deshaun Watson case and IT FAILED. 11 games and a 5 million dollar fine doesn’t fit what he was accused of doing and found to have done by Judge Sue L. Robinson. Sickening.”
Griffin, who once played for Watson’s current team the Cleveland Browns, also felt that the NFL failed to show that it had learned a lesson from the past and said that the punishment levied on Watson is not fitting of what he was accused of and found guilty of by Judge Sue L. Robinson.
