    Absolutely. The Texans haven't demanded much of my time over the past several seasons, but I definitely won't watch as long as he is on the roster.

    If Watson wants to stay then you have to work on keeping him. He's a top 10 QB in the NFL and it took you 20 years to find him.

    This poll proves people dont care if a guys a sexual predator or not. They are worse than what Watson has been charged with doing.

    SMDH, you really want a sexual predator on the team? SMH

    Hopefully this goes before a grand jury and criminal charges are filed. It's obvious he was preying on women at the very least. Since MT who haven't sued are corroborating the MT that have filed suit, things aren't looking good for Watson. Hopefully he's the next prison yard MVP.

    Seeing these falls from grace always feel like the person, at least the public persona we knew, has died. Their removal from films or shows, like Kevin Spacey and Matt Lauer, lets you imagine they’re really gone. Watson almost seems like a ghost, though, haunting the sidelines. It’s weird.

    When it’s one incident or one accuser, (like Kobe, for instance) you often allow yourself, right or wrong, to cloud your mind with doubt and forget. But there’s just so many women and so many stories, some so embarrassing, that it’s hard to look at Watson and not just think of that.

    Not to mention he's a control freak. His obsession with humiliating captive women is consistent with him freaking out over McNair not letting him choose the GM.

    We legit had texans fans supporting a player cucking our team, throwing them under the bus to the media, and opportunistically using bob mcnairs "prisoners" comment and today's current social climate to have the media paint a picture as texans being oppressive and racist.

    No sympathy for this dude.

    I don't care about this team anymore, but if I did I would want him to stay. This is not a murder or rape. Just win baby.

    I would be super bullish on whatever team is able to swindle the Texans on a trade for him though.

    You have a truly fascinating moral compass. People on a message board unsure of all of the facts of a situation that is a bit murky being unwilling to definitively say they want a guy off the team is worse than sexual assault.

    He's alleged to have committed both sexual assault and sexual battery.... and that's even if you don't consider coercion to entail rape.

    Bullsh*t. Believing in presumption of innocence is the backbone of our society. If he is proven guilty then it is fine for you to have this attiutude. Until then, you are much worse than what he is charged with.

    Ehh watching it wasn't as bad as it sounded.... he was smiling and it was obvious he was talking about his practicing being the exact same. I thought he was going to be angry, he wasn't really.... maybe he just had a massage earlier in the morning.... IDK.

    Rub and tug usually works out all the kinks.

    No.... believing in the presumption of innocence is the backbone of our legal system. It is not and never has been the backbone of or society. History shows that people make up their own minds, regardless of the outcome of a legal proceeding. It gets even murkier when you have a civil case like this one and not a criminal case.

    Look no farther than the OJ Simpson trial.... the fact he was found criminally not guilty matters letter with public perception.

    As others have said already, I'd obviously like the Texans to get value of him if they can. But if they have to get less than they'd like in a trade, but they actually have a trade in front of them that they can make, I would make it. I don't need to wait for the results of the investigation or any trial to be completed; dude needs to not be in Houston anymore.

    Yes, you might get more value out of him if you wait. But it's pretty clear that Watson is going to be the cloud hanging over this team until he's gone. And I have no delusions of grandeur about this garbage pail of a franchise. But at least they have a (seemingly) competent GM in place and what seems to be a legitimate strategy to developing a long-term contender. It would be much easier for me to turn the corner and root for a rebuilding 2-14 team next season if Deshaun Watson headlines weren't dominating the front page all season long.

    He's bad for the franchise, he's bad for the rebuild, he's bad for the city and it certainly seems like he's an all-around bad person. Let's move on and start from scratch.

    which exit was worse in your eyes, james harden or deshaun watson

    also im starting to believe what eddie griffin said in that interview he had with djvlad on youtube a few years back when bill cosby got caught with something similar involving women

    i wonder when they gonna go after lebron james( probably when he stops making them money)

    Seriously? Look around the world..... also the first time he wins a SB with another organization, there will be more angry fans.

    I would be angry too.

    But the idea that you want him to stay just blows me away. Like, how low are your personal conduct standards?
