Sexual Assault Suits Against Watson

The mandatory evaluation and the $2 million assessment from the NFL and the Browns that will be given to relevant non-profit organizations that work to minimize and prevent sexual misconduct and assault............... an insulting joke? No doubt, the NFL plans on supplying Watson with a self-help book "How to Pretend You are no Longer a Sexual Predator."

lol…sure, the people who ultimately arent impacting his life…. However the circles he and his business partners will be running in, noone will be thinking about that. Reality is this is only consuming the drunk retards in football stands…

But dont let him lead the Browns to any significant winning…those folks will really be mad…even tho this whole fiasco went thru all the proper legal channels…all the proper NFL disciplinary channels.

Its over, folks need to just grow up and move on.

Not so sure about that, Browns may not care but those companies that hand out endorsements may not be so quick to make him the face of their product. They certainly dropped him fast when everything first came out.
 
The ONLY thing the NFL has ever cared about is money. All the pandering to social causes and specific groups is nothing but a bullshit smokescreen to make more money.

Expecting a bunch of greedy billionaires that profit on public funds to somehow right the wrongs of the world is just foolish. Once folks realize they are nothing but customers to the league, the quicker they will realize that it's nothing more than vapid entertainment - a shallow, meaningless diversion.

Just juggle clowns. I'm bored. This place will be wild when the head pervert clown comes to town.

he undoubtedly will never again be “the face” of any product…any major product anyway…but that still doesnt mean he cant have business dealings with people where that is not required…people who know who he is/was and what he was accused of doing. Bottom line is money talks and people tend to put themselves and their well being 1st when it comes to things like making money in business ventures.

Takes too much energy to keep up the hate…furthermore the american attention span is tiny as hell. Which is why i call all this fake outrage…b/c real outrage moves people to do things beyond booing for a few games…it alters lives to those not directly impacted & i find it real hard to believe that the loudest critics regarding this decision will do little more than boo until they get bored and move on to the next thing they think is blasphemous.

Those swearing off the NFL b/c of this decision will return very shortly or move on quickly after this 1st season as well.

i just take it for what it is…like you said…entertainment..

You’re missing the point. Other players will look at past suspensions, and say he got special treatment. Players do not like that.

NFL players don't care about what happens to other nfl players and their special treatment in that vacuum. Those guys hang out with each other and its a fraternity of sorts. Just like defensive players know offensive players, especially qbs get preferred treatment,but they don't go into it trying to intentionally hurt other players. They don't function like that. I'm telling you this for a fact.

There is a difference between a moment and a movement. A movement requires sacrifice, a moment doesn't. The 2 no bills and the settlements doesn't look like a movement, its a moment. If you're willing to stand on it even if it cost you everything like Curt Flood, then that's a movement. Remember all those people saying they wouldn't watch nfl games with the social justice thing? Well Amazon and Apple aren't been run by dummies and they're bidding on games to the utmost. Yeah, they lost a few thousand fans, but every year, they're gaing those back with the younger generation.
 
Supposedly last 45 minutes all major news networks reporting 11-game suspension with $5 million fine.
"Why then are cbs,nbc,espn,fox,USA today,New York times, and wall street journal all reporting same onfo in the last 45 minutes "?

Then Watson basically spits in the face of the process - Screw an apology!


Harvey may have severed that relationship with this result.

Why are you surprised? The nfl didn't want them books open, didn't want anything upstaging opening weekend. What does Harvey have to do with it?
 
From the Texans perspective this is a pretty good outcome- him missing 11 games means they will not trade for Garropollo - they are likely to be 5-6 or 4-7 when he comes back after 11 games out. They will not finish with a .500 record this year and therefore our pick will be top 16. Next year will "be the Brown's year" but his cap hit will be $55M which IS PROVEN to not be a recipe for winning a SB- they might win more games but won't go deep into playoffs. I expect low teens for our #1 pick next year and high teens for the year after. Not too shabby to get 3 picks in the teens plus a few later picks for that turd.

Yep. The truth is that people would be shocked if they knew the private lives of movie and music entertainers in the same way we know the sordid details of many athletes. The Johnny Depp trial comes to mind.

I expect no higher standards for entertainers than anyone else. The NFL needs to focus on just being entertainment instead of trying to be a vanguard of accountability, social justice, or 'celebrating' race for profit.

As far as the NFL suspension, Leonard Little received 8 games for the manslaughter DUI from then NFL commish Paul Tagliabue in 1998. Donte Stallworth was given a one year suspension for manslaughter DUI in 2019 from Roger Goodell.

Little received 90 days in a halfway house, plus community service and probation for his manslaughter conviction. Stallworth spent 24 days in county jail, plus community service and probation.

Quoted for truth. I watched that doc about Cosby when it came out and it was ridiculous. This dude was on Johnny Carson talking about drugging women and yet still was a prominent figure on TV. Dude was an innovator and creep and the same time

Anyone familiar with any "rehab" knows that there can be no success with deniability of wrong doing going into it, and don't feel you need to be there to begin with. You don't just miraculously "learn" accountability in rehab..........for someone llke Watson, you just learn "how to play the game" that much better by the time you get out.

Good job, NFL!

This will be the most exciting game at NRG/Reliant in a decade. Only opening night vs Dallas and the 1st playoff game can compare. I'll give the Texans a 10 point homefield advantage.

It was a settlement between the NFL and the NFLPA. Harvey had nothing to do with it.

Since when has owning up to transgressions been a thing? Before my time.

I just don't understand why anyone expected or needed justice from the NFL. It's a business that is in the business of looking out for themselves. Which they ultimately did. There wasn't a case to be made in criminal court. I assume that the masseuses were well compensated for their trauma. Watson will wear a scarlett letter for the rest of his life. This was as good as it ever was going to get.

Yep. And you can still watch The Cosby Show on Amazon Prime (as well as basic cable channel TV One)!! lol

At the end of the day, the American public's obsession with entertainment is what ultimately drives all of this stuff. We are looking in a mirror and should not be surprised when we don't like what we see.

kinda where im at. Entertainers are entertainers, not perfect beings….or even good people in some instances.

Yep, it'll be a huge game. I predict Watson will VY the Texans, even if it's his only good game this season. I doubt this franchise's heart and soul and expect them to wiener out as a team. lol
 
So.. nothing from Goodell or his minion posted on TT or from our own with NFL sources about details.. a tweet from a "who" and Watson's interview? SMH.

I get a call from friend watching TV with details and before posts here. Wah ha ha!

LMAO on all so called 'my inner NFL " sources.
