    Cool, so the Texans are gonna honor all their contracts, right? And teams honor contracts all the time, right?

    They have to honor the guaranteed part.
    Negotiate for more of it.
    And even if it was fully guaranteed, that’s not stopping players from forcing their way out (Harden)
    No matter what someone else does, that isn’t going to stop me from honoring what I say I’m going to do. And if it doesn’t work out, I damn sure won’t work it out on social media.

    Im not defending teams and their ownership, I think they make too much money too. But Im damn sure not going to feel sorry for the athletes either.

    Guys I want Watson to stay. I'm MAGA now.


    Calling me MAGA instantly makes me believe your arguments are stupid.

    That's just the level these guys are operating on, to them anyone who doesn't fully and blindly support the object of their affection is [insert random slander]

    It doesn't matter if there's any basis for the slander or not, that's basically all they have to work with.

    and sent a dick pic to a journalist. Favre is not the best example of "what to do" and further for him to be giving Watson advice that amounts to "shut up and throw the ball" is pretty funny.

    They all should shut up and play.
    Has nothing to do with politics, play the game you’re handsomely paid to do.

    Odd how a quote that was meant to disparage the political opinion of an athlete is now being construed as a quote regarding just doing your job.

    No one has a problem with Watson expressing his political opinions even the conservative posters here.

    So stop confusing subject matter.

    Contract. Entire contract. Not just guarantees. not just bonuses. ENTIRE CONTRACT.

    JJ has a year left on his contract. They need to honor his contract.
    Same for David Johnson.
    McKinney has 3 years left. #honorthecontract

    We know you’re not MAGA. You’re part of the liberal shithole D&D group think. (Favre, Bobby, raining threes, fantasy negro, they are MAGA. The same who want him to shut up and football. How dare you be an outspoken black athlete.)

    Guarantees in a contract are what has to be honored.....that's why they are called guarantees. If the contract allows for an out for the team or a player after a certain time and they exercise that right, they are still honoring the contract. Weird how often I have to spell basic things like this out to people.



    That's obscenely stupid of you to say. Not only are you wrong in accusing me of "being MAGA" whatever the hell that's supposed to mean, but the color of Watson's skin has absolutely nothing to do with my opinion on this matter.....though it does appear to have something to do with some of those falling all over themselves to defend his actions as sad as that is to say.

    What political opinions has Watson expressed especially when he is on the record as saying he stays away from "politics and religion" in discussions?

    Strange attack even for you.

    That wasn't an attack on Watson, it was an attack on the mindless simpletons who are trying to bring politics and religion into something that has nothing to do with either.

    Feeble minded posters attempting to brand people as "MAGA" for disagreeing with how Watson has acted or bashing the franchise based on their own religious bigotry has been all over this thread and many others in the Texans forum.

    Those kinds of posters duck the relevant substantive issues and seek only to demonize anyone who disagrees with the object of their affection. It's fairly pathetic.

    I've been on the other side of quite a few discussions with @fchowd0311 over the years when it comes to politics, but we seem to agree here. If nothing else, that should suggest to you that politics has absolutely nothing to do with this issue. I'm not even sure how they would factor in honestly. It's not political to suggest someone is a scumbag for signing a long term commitment only to then stab everyone in the back a few months later. Nothing religious about it either. It's a question of ethics more so than anything else.

    Interesting, I wonder what he really knows or if he is just speculating.

    It would be easier to debate with you and take you seriously if every one of your posts didnt contain insults toward one person or the other.

    Crazy opinions to the side there IS a wrong and right way to get your message across or maybe most of the world is just beneath you?

    Sincerely,

    A "feeble minded poster"

    Hilarious given the people I "insulted" were the people dealing exclusively in ad hominem attacks.....and that's what I "insulted" them for doing. Those who do things like that are absolutely beneath me....and most people.

    Since the start, I stuck to the substance and those I accurately describe as being "feeble minded" responded with insults and ad hominem. Had they stuck to the substantive issues, I wouldn't have called them out on it.

    Okay, but if you are an educated and a well organized person (from my perspective it appears you are) then you could actually make a difference, instead of just being an example of what 'most' people view as a bully MAGA type guy and perpetuating hate. SOMEONE has to take a high road. Similar to all the combative threads in the GARM lately drawing battle lines between who is a fake fan or not - like who gives a sht really? SMH.

    Im too old for all the chest bumping. Im not here to change minds or make friends. If I can learn something new in debate with a stranger who happens to share the same passions in sports as I do great, but Im not going to go out of my way to make sure someone else feels inferior even when they instigate the negative energy and make sure everyone knows "Im right and you're wrong".

    The world needs more sheepdogs not wolves or sheep.
