Watson's suspension is less than these players got for gambling, weed

Deshaun Watson received a six-game suspension by Judge Sue Robinson on Monday, a shorter punishment than some NFL players got for gambling and smoking weed.

Watson, 26, was accused of sexual misconduct by more than 25 female massage therapists.

Two grand juries did not indict thae Cleveland Browns quarterback and found the accusations to be non-criminal.

The NFLPA has three days to appeal the decision but they're reportedly satisfied with Robinson's ruling.

Former NFL running back Silas Redd was quick to point out via Twitter that he got suspended for one year due to smoking marijuana but that Watson only got a six-game punishment for sexual misconduct allegations.

Calvin Ridley gets 17-game ban

Fans on Twitter were also shocked that Watson got a shorter suspension than Calvin Ridley, who got suspended for 17 games earlier this year due to gambling.

Josh Gordon is another example of a player getting suspended for weed.

Twitter also continues to speak of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who didn't receive any punishment for his involvement in a solicitation case.
