Many initially believed that quarterback Deshaun Watson would face a harsh punishment following his involvement in a civil complaint in which 24 different women accused him.
While some media pundits anticipated a one-year penalty, others speculated that it would be indefinite.Although Watson will only receive a six-game suspension, federal judge Sue L. Robinson concluded that he had broken the NFL’s personal conduct rules, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Fans were not pleased with this move, as you may expect. Many NFL players have served significantly shorter suspensions, and they aren’t keeping quiet about potential sexual misconduct.

Here are the reactions of several Steelers supporters and media members to the announcement of Deshaun Watson’s suspension.
