Marisa Saenz has more on what the attorney for the accusers of Deshaun Watson had to say during a Thursday press conference.
When the NFL announced that it was appealing Deshaun Watson's six-game suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy on Wednesday, the decision was applauded by many outside of Cleveland.
Tony Buzbee, the Houston-area lawyer who has represented the women accusing the Cleveland Browns quarterback of sexual misconduct, including harassment and assault, however, isn't buying it.
"We are here today with a message to the NFL. That message is simple and hopefully clear: every victim of sexual assault is watching [NFL Commissioner] Roger Goodell and the NFL right now. And this idea that Mr. Goodell is going to hand it off to someone else independent, we don't buy it," Buzbee said at a press conference on Thursday. "Mr. Goodell, what will you do? It's never too late to do the right thing. And that's what these women and those watching are expecting."
Over the course of his more than 22-minute press conference, Buzbee criticized the NFL's investigation into Watson, which he said was limited in scope and seemed more focused on sanitizing the truth than the truth itself. In particular, Buzbee said that his law firm offered to make more women available than the 10 accusers that the NFL spoke to, but that the league wasn't interested.
