NFL recommends Deshaun Watson be suspended for a year. Here's how Twitter reacted
On the eve of Deshaun Watson's hearing with the NFL over his allegations of sexual misconduct, the NFL informed Watson, the NFL Player's Association and Sue L. Robinson, the former federal judge who serves as the disciplinary officer, that it is recommending that the Browns' new quarterback serve an indefinite suspension of at least a year.
Watson is accused of sexual misconduct by more than two dozen women and last week settled 24 civil lawsuits. Earlier on Monday, more lawsuits were filed against the Houston Texans, the team Watson played for while the allegations occurred.

It's now clear that the NFL will seek an entire season for Watson's punishment.
