title of article :
:Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson suspended 11 games, fined $5 million after NFL and NFLPA reach settlement.
The NFL and the NFL Players Association have agreed to suspend Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson for 11 regular season games without pay and fine him $5 million after he was accused of sexual misconduct by more than two dozen women.
Watson will undergo a professional evaluation by behavioral experts and will follow their treatment program, according to the agreement.
Susan Dee Haslam, co-owner of the Browns, on Thursday vowed to invest $1 million towards educating youth for awareness of sexual misconduct.
We as an organization and as individuals, we have tremendous empathy for the women involved and we have an opportunity to make a difference in this community, she told reporters.
Her husband and team co-owner, Jimmy Haslam, said, People deserve second chances.
Im moving on with my career and my life, and Im going to continue to stand on my innocence, Watson told the media Thursday. Just because settlements and things like that happen, doesnt mean that person is guilty for anything.
He added, I feel like the person has the opportunity to stand on his innocence, and prove that, and we proved that on the legal side, and weve just got to continue to push forward as an individual and as a person.
Twenty-four civil lawsuits were filed against Watson; 23 have been settled confidentially. Two grand juries in Texas declined to charge Watson criminally.
Watson violated the NFLs personal conduct policy in private meetings with massage therapists while he was with the Houston Texans. League commissioner Roger Goodell called Watsons behavior egregious and predatory.

Stuart's opinion: Very sad comment on league. Goodell had proof of lies and crimes. (last paragraph) What did he do?
.........................Nothing..........If he was ....."Suspended for Life"...that would be something.....11 games, (one season) ??
.........................It is obvious Goodell needs to be fired immediately. This fellow could have spent several years in jail for
.........................committing these crimes. .....24 lawsuits?? what does that mean?? " 23 have been settled confidentially"
.........................What does that mean?....You be the judge. This ain't a game, this is the NFL and this is life.
