The NFL never ceases to amaze me (you hear the sarcasm in my voice). The league’s Commissioner Roger Goodell needs to do a hell of a lot better when it comes to players and sexual assualt and the punishments he dishes out. Now this is alleged (I don’t need to be sued, I only have $2 to my name) but the Cleveland Brown’s star quarterback Deshaun Watson is suspended for eleven games this season and must pay a $5 million fine due to sexual misconduct against over a dozen women.
Watson also is required to be evaluated by a professional behavioral expert and follow a specific treatment program. Twenty-four (yes, read that shit again…I’ll wait) civil lawsuits have been filed against the Brown’s star quarterback with twenty-three of them already settled out of court.
This shit has been going on since he was with the Houston Texans. He would have “private message sessions” and sexually (allegedly) abuse them. As usual PR wrote up a nice little apology for his ass to read to everyone. It did not appear genuine in my opinion.
Everything about this situation disgusts me. I have a motto, it’s slightly harsh but oh well that is life. My motto is everybody has a price to when they will screw you over. Your job is to find out what that price is and screw them over first. In this case the price was a cool $230 million. That is the most guaranteed money in the history of the NFL. The Browns traded three players in order to get Deshaun. They are not about to lose all of this damn money they invested in him. They are going to protect their crown jewel at all costs. None of them are thinking about the victims. He is suspended for less games than the total amount of women he allegedly harassed. And to think the original suspension was only six games. Roger Goodell is pretending to be soooo pissed off calling what he did “egregious”. Damn that’s all you got Goodell?
Are you going to crawl back into your lair and pretend nothing happened? The co-owner of the Browns Susan Hasiam has embarrassingly jumped on the Watson’s bandwagon, giving $1 million to invest toward education of youth that has experienced sexual abuse. Her husband said,
“People deserve second chances. Is he never supposed to play football again?”
Colin Kaepernick was black balled out of the NFL for refusing to kneel but you allowing this man to only be suspended for 11 games? Does that make sense to you sir? Because it doesn’t to me.
Let me tell you something Mr. Watson cause clearly you are not the smartest in the bunch. Paying victims off and expecting it to all be swept under the rug so you can move on is a simpleton mentality. You can’t say “Oh let me just CashApp these heifas a few dollars and keep it moving.” Newsflash, that only happens for the white folk. You doing that without going to trial makes you look real guilty no matter how many times you say you’re innocent. I would have fought to the death of me because I wouldn’t want that tarnishing my legacy especially if it is not true like he claim. The only reason why you are still on that team is because you are an investment — nothing more, nothing less. You represent the zeroes that will fill up their accounts. It’s sad that the money fogged up that truth to you. One question…
Was it worth it?
