Tony Buzbee, the attorney representing the women who made sexual assault and misconduct allegations against Deshaun Watson, criticized the six-game suspension handed down to the Cleveland Browns quarterback.
"Six games isn't even a slap on the wrist," Buzbee told reporters at a press conference Thursday. "It's a kiss on the cheek."
The six-game ban was handed down by Sue L. Robinson, the NFL and NFLPA's jointly appointed independent disciplinary officer who oversaw the case. Although the ruling didn't come from the NFL, the league received criticism for how it approached the investigation into whether Watson violated its personal conduct policy.
