After an 11-game suspension was handed down to Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson, the player gave a press conference reacting to the decision, and sparked a firestorm of anger across the internet.

In addition to the suspension, Watson was fined $5 million, which along with $1m contributions from the league and the Browns will support non-profits dedicated to promoting sexual assault prevention and education as well as support for survivors.

Watson, who had 24 civil lawsuits filed against him by different female massage therapists accusing him of sexual assault and other inappropriate behaviour, maintained his innocence to the media.

This is in spite of the initial ruling made by former Judge Sue L. Robinson, which found the NFL proved by a preponderance of evidence that Watson engaged in sexual assault in at least four of the women.
