New allegations against controversial Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson have sparked renewed calls for the National Football League to ban him from the league.
On Monday, September 9 — one day after Deshaun Watson began his third season as a member of the Cleveland Browns — a sexual assault lawsuit was filed against him in Houston, adding to that previously included over 20 allegations of sexual assault and/or misconduct.
Watson was suspended by the NFL for 11 games due to the allegations, while the Browns decided to hand him one of the richest contracts in NFL history.
The latest allegations against Watson are particularly graphic, as they detail what’s an undeniable instance of forcible sexual assault (if true). The lawsuit states that Watson “penetrated her without consent, implicit or explicit,” and sexually assaulted her for “minutes” in both the missionary position and “from behind.”
You can find more details about the latest lawsuit against Watson — filed by Jane Doe via attorney Tony Buzbee, who represented many of the QB’s previous accusers — here.
Following these latest allegations, there are renewed calls for the NFL to do what they should’ve done years ago and ban Watson from the league, with football fans referring to the 28-year-old former Heisman trophy winner as “pure evil” and a “legitimate psychopath.”

“Please end the Deshaun Watson experiment,” a fan tweeted, tagging the Browns. “It’s time. The fans deserve better.”
“Vile report. Get this f—— sicko off my football team,” an apparent Browns fan posted.
“These new allegations aren’t just SA this is pretty much just straight up r—. Suspend him indefinitely, and find a way to get this loser to Azerbaijan (or prison), even if that means eating the remaining money. He cannot take the field Sunday,” another disgruntled NFL fan said.
At the time of this writing, not only have the Cleveland Browns not addressed the latest allegations against Watson but they haven’t tweeted since 3:00 p.m. on Monday. Coincidentally, the news of new sexual assault allegations against him dropped just about an hour later.
