This guy is such a piece of garbage he did what NOBODY could make me do before. And that's feel sorry for Baker Mayfield, who I think still deserves to be a starter in this league, no matter how irritating he might be at times

If this didn't go on under the Texans umbrella (team employees, team facilities) are these even legitimate cases?

If propositioning women is a crime, they need to shut down every bar in this country.

Watson is a creeper with a fetish, obviously. I wouldn't want him on my team. I'll never root for him. But the NFL has employed far worse than this guy. (Leonard Little, Donte Stallworth, Roethlisberger.. Ray Lewis..)

I seriously hope you are not comparing propositioning a woman in a bar to the several dozen allegations of sexual assault and/or sexual misconduct described in the civil lawsuits against Deshaun Watson.

Mutual consent between adults is absolutely nothing like what is described in many of the Jane Doe affidavits.

While some of them knew what they were getting into, others were real, trained, and actually had jobs. Once he ran out of women in Houston, then he started flying them in and that's where the gray area pops up.

Individually there isn't much in most of the cases, mostly just some indecent exposure or something. There are some more serious ones but really hard to prove criminally. The pattern shows just how bad this is and how little he views women.

Yes he was propositioning them but he took it further by exposing himself and doing other things. That is no where near the same as a bar unless you frequent bars where you just take it out and ask if they like what they see.

Sure there have been worse people in the league but those issues were also 1 time things. This is bad enough to give him 2-3 games per woman. It's also a different time and the media and PR will take huge hits if this is just brushed under the rug like in the past.

I remember Big Ben got a (revised) four game suspension for just the accusation (no criminal charges) in his rape allegation issue. Deshaun has settled with 20 women, still has the 4 other women going full steam ahead and then however many accusations to come. Still, let's just go with the 20 women settled with as the baseline because that's closest to the Big Ben scenario. 4x20=80. 80 games should be the precedent, then?

Also, though, it's a lady judge, it's possibly the most emotional time for a lot of women feeling the judicial system is a failure and the NFL is barely a few years into having women in major roles on and off the field (and the NFL hasn't made a statement on RvW yet). It feels like they are either about to try and win some mega brownie points by doling a historic punishment, or they are going to epic fail, then probably do nothing to Snyder, either and it'll be major throat punch to the league compared to any black eyes they've dealt with before.

Opinions on the facts as I know them, of course. I'll sit back and watch like everyone else.

She has a background in contract law, trademark, or something like that. That's a very dry area, so who knows what she does with this. I'm guessing less than 1 year and/or time served from last year. There is no way the Browns paid that much money without knowing what the league would do.
