Seems weird to sue for money in federal court, especially if there have never been any police reports.
This might make it so the next CBA makes it less likely for the NFL to have its own justice system.
I would rather AB plays and Chiefs whup 'em all..

If I were assessing this as a potential party to the matter [as opposed to a media consumer or fan or whatever], I would be developing a hypothesis that the relationship between Brown and the accuser wandered into a gray area between consensual quid pro quo and nonconsensual coercion.
I am not saying what happened, but exploring the possibilities of what facts may come to light given what is already established.
But it seems plausible that Brown asserted a right/privilege to impose his sexual impulses on the accuser, which he then defended after the fact with a blend of 'you didn't stop me' and 'I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you with xxx, yyy, zzz.'
More like a Harvey Weinstein scenario where he isolates her as a sex target by maneuvering his power and resources as an enticement [of sorts] then performs his sexual gratification before an opportunity for refusal or consent arises.
These are not easy transgressions to litigate, and a lot of tangential matters become nearly dispositive when the particulars are so murky.
