If O.J. Simpson is on your side about anything, that means you may need to reevallaute yourself as a person.
The Cleveland Browns quarterback was reportedly handed a six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy after more than a dozen women accused him of sexual misconduct, prompting a fierce backlash on social media over what is being perceived as a lenient ruling.
Not everybody was upset at that ruling and it was former NFL player, O.J. Simpson.
Hours after the ruling, Simpson took to Twitter and dropped a video on the situation where he urged the league to respect what former federal judge Sue L. Robinson issued to the QB.
“They hired this federal retired judge, they obviously respected her, she looked at it and came out with a decision. Hey man, that’s it!”
“That should be it.”

The NFLPA released a statement Sunday night in anticipation of the ruling that it would stand by Robinson’s decision and urged the NFL to “do the same.”
“A former federal judge – appointed jointly by the NFLPA and NFL – held a full and fair hearing, has read thousands of pages of investigative documents and reviewed arguments from both sides impartially,” the statement read. “Every player, owner, business partner, and stakeholder deserves to know that our process is legitimate and will not be tarnished based on the whims of the League office.”
Watson did not play last season while a member of the Houston Texans because of investigations into the allegations of misconduct including sexual assault and harassment involving more than two dozen women. Watson, who was traded to the Browns in March, has repeatedly denied the allegations against him.
