On today's episode, we discuss the final ruling from the NFL that Deshaun Watson will be suspended 11 games and fined $5 million for sexually assaulting and harassing 30+ women. We discuss how this will be the final measure of accountability for Watson, legally or from the NFL. We also revisit stories from victims of Watson's sexually predatory behavior, as detailed in reporting by Jenny Vrentas of Sports Illustrated and the New York Times, HBO Real Sports, Court Depositions, and the verdict by Sue L Robinson. Finally, how will a sports story of a generation impact the next generation's fight for women's rights.
