Jamie D & Big Newt: Deshaun Watson & the NFL’s PR Problem

The NFL has announced a six game suspension of Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson. Since the news, there has been a swift and strong public outcry about the meager punishment. The result is that the NFL is in need of some damage control. The hosts, Jamie D'Amico and big Chris Newton, discuss the suspension in terms of the inconsistency between what players face for infractions against women, as opposed to the penalties faced by team owners, such as the New England Patriots Robert Craft, Dallas Cowboys Jerry Jones, and what they anticipate with be the result of ongoing investigation of Daniel Snyder of the Washington Commanders. Furthermore, beyond the issue of morality, the hosts discuss that the NFL's pattern of handing out light penalties for offenses against women, who are the leagues fasted growing fan demographic, is bad for business. They round out the podcast by talking Buffalo Bills training camp, including the recent on-field fisticuffs, including Josh Allen's scuffle with Jordan Phillips, Dion Dawkins' touchdown, and more.
