The decision officially came down upon Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson earlier today. He's been suspended for the first six games of the upcoming 2022 NFL season for his alleged sexual misconduct during massage therapy sessions. 

And shortly after the decision was rendered, the Cleveland Browns released the following official statement on their Twitter account: 

"Throughout this process, Deshaun and his representatives have abided by the newly created and agreed upon process for the NFLPA and the NFL to defer to the objective Judge Sue L. Robinson to comprehensively review all in formation and make a fair decision. We respect Judge Robinson's decision, and at the same time, empathize and understand that there have been several individuals triggered throughout this process. We know Deshaun is remorseful that this situation has caused so much heartache to many and he will continue the work needed to show who he is on and off the field, and we will continue to support him." 

Not only has Watson maintained his innocence, but has also settled over 20 of the 24 lawsuits he had been facing.
