Deshaun Watson’s victims attorney Tony Buzbee just blasted the NFL, saying they do not care about sexual assault
Tony Buzbee the attorney for all the Deshaun Watson sexual assault victims is speaking out. He just tore up the NFL and Roger Goodell for their suspension.
The NFL agreed to settle with Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson yesterday on an 11 game suspension and a 5 million dollar fine. The league and Watson were obviously ready to move on, and Buzbee did not hold back, saying the NFL does not care about sexual assault victims.
“By settling this matter the way he has,” Buzbee said in a statement, via Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, “Roger Goodell has proven one of two things: either his recent rhetoric was utter baloney, or his bark is much worse than his bite. My belief is that he is nothing more than a paper tiger. The message today to all victims is clear, if you believe you have been sexually assaulted by a powerful person, keep your mouth shut and go away. The NFL has certainly demonstrated that its ownership and the organization don’t care.
“To all sexual assault survivors, do not allow this recent ‘punishment’ to deter you. Keep speaking up and speaking out. Your voice matters. You are making a difference. We stand with you.”
What do you think? The comments from Goodell early in the process said Watson had predatory behavior then he allowed him to get off with an 11-game suspension.
