Roger Goodell Comments On Deshaun Watson Allegations
Right now the NFL is currently investigating Deshaun Watson allegations. Watson has been in the news quite a bit over this past month due to numerous sexual assault allegations (a total of 22 massage therapists) who work out of the Houston TX area. Watson is being accused of inappropriate conduct that was allegedly perpetrated during the massages that he had sought the women out for.
While Watson has denied all of the allegations, his lawyer claims he did have consensual sex with some of the women. The lawsuits have led to an investigation from the NFL and on Thursday, ahead of the NFL Draft, Roger Goodell spoke to reporters about what the league is doing in light of Watson's situation.
Commissioner Rodger Goodell on ESPN, asked about Deshaun Watson: "We're obviously following that and looking at that ourselves. There are important steps that we will be taking as part of out personal conduct policy. When we get to that point we will certainly make a decision."
