‘Fighting It Would’ve Cost a Fortune’: OJ Simpson Addresses Why Deshaun Watson Shouldn’t Have Protested His Innocence Amidst 6-Game Suspension

The new Cleveland Browns quarterback, Deshaun Watson, was handed a 6-game suspension by the attorney. The outcome wasn’t well received by the majority. Many thought Watson should have been suspended for more games.

Recently, OJ Simpson spoke about the situation of Deshaun Watson. Simpson experienced a similar situation to Watson’s earlier in his life. Due to it, he knows how to deal with this kind of stuff.

NFL disciplinary officer judge Sue Robinson handed the 6-game suspension to Watson. Speaking about it, OJ Simpson said, “She looked at it and came out with a decision. Hey man, that’s it. That should be it. People are saying ‘why would he settle if he was innocent?’ Hey look guys, he’s not gonna change anybody’s mind no matter what he does. He can’t change my mind.”

OJ added, “I think [Watson] probably was out of line with some of the girls and I think some of the girls jumped on board because there was a chance of making money. Plus, the fact that to fight this was going to cost a fortune.”

OJ Simpson later said that the legal fees would have been pretty similar to what Watson paid off during the settlements. As a result, the 26-year-old and his attorney decided that it was the best option available.

The NFL might extend the suspension of Deshaun Watson

The public’s reaction to the 6-game suspension of Deshaun Watson hasn’t been positive. Even though Watson was not found guilty, many believed that the suspension should be longer.

It came into light after Calvin Ridley was banned for a whole season due to placing a bet on a game that he didn’t play. The charges against Watson were quite serious. On top of the small suspension, the Cleveland Browns QB1 isn’t losing much money as compared to Ridley.

Considering all this, it is very possible that the league might step in to extend the suspension. Deshaun Watson is good for the TV ratings, but his small suspension will take a hit on the integrity of the league. As a result, Roger Goodell might need to step in pretty soon.
