NFL Suspends Browns’ Watson for 11 Games, Fines Him $5 Million
The NFL announced Monday that Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson will be suspended for 11 games and fined $5 million for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.
The decision comes after more than 20 women accused Watson of sexual misconduct during massage sessions. Watson has denied the allegations and maintained his innocence throughout the process.
The NFL conducted its own inquiry and concluded that Watson engaged in “predatory behavior” and that his conduct was ”more egregious than any before reviewed by the NFL.”
As part of the agreement, Watson will undergo a mandatory evaluation and treatment program. He’ll also be eligible to return to the Browns for their Week 13 game against the Houston Texans, his former team.
This marks a significant punishment for Watson, who recently signed a fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract with the Browns.
The NFL’s decision is highly likely to be met with mixed reactions.Some will argue that the suspension is too lenient, given the severity of the allegations.Others may believe it is indeed appropriate, considering the lack of criminal charges against Watson.
This case has been controversial from the outset, raising questions about the NFL’s handling of sexual misconduct allegations and the league’s commitment to protecting women.
The suspension and fine will undoubtedly have a major impact on Watson’s career and the Browns’ season.

Louisville Wins ACC title, Earns NCAA Tournament Berth with Upset Win Over Duke
The Louisville Cardinals stunned the Duke Blue Devils 72-61 to win the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Tournament Championship on Saturday, securing an automatic bid to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
The Cardinals, who entered the tournament as the No.5 seed, played with tenacity and precision, limiting Duke’s high-octane offense throughout the game.

Duke, considered a favorite to contend for the national championship, will now have to wait for Selection Sunday to learn its NCAA tournament fate. The Blue Devils are still expected to receive a high seed, but this loss will undoubtedly raise questions about their readiness for the Big Dance.
