Attorney criticizes NFL for handling of Deshaun Watson situation
The NFL has been investigating the sexual assault allegations against Deshaun Watson, and the attorney representing the reported victims does not feel his clients are being shown a proper level of respect.
Tony Buzbee told Mark Berman of FOX 26 on Wednesday night that four of the 22 women he currently represents have met with the NFL. Buzbee said he is unsure if he will allow others to do so because some of the women who already spoke with the league “did not feel like they were being respected.”
