ESPN’s Molly Qerim is urging the NFL to show respect for women. And she wants them to do it by placing Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson on the Commissioner’s Exempt List.
The Exempt List is a special player status available to NFL clubs only in unusual circumstances. The list includes those players who have been declared by the Commissioner to be temporarily exempt from counting within the Active List limit.
The NFL said last Wednesday that it was looking into the allegations of 14 women who have filed lawsuits claiming the former Clemson star sexually assaulted them.
