You're 100% right on this. And the # of stories matching up seems pretty damning. And Solis, at the very least, sounds like she has a very credible and legitimate massage company. But I think there is a flipside here too about how some of these encounters started. Many of these people are apparently unlicensed. Some even outright said they don't do massage (cosmotologists, etc) so this was clearly not their job. In those cases, they wouldn't have had legit salon owners telling them to do massage. Others seem to have been advertising for something-or-other on instagram, but it's unclear what if they weren't massage therapists. I think we have a tendancy to lump all these cases together because of how the lawsuits were filed and how Buzbee effectively presented them, but there's still an element here of "nothing makes sense". There's no scenario where Watson's "it was all legit and went too far" sounds remotely plausible. But there's also no scenario where all of these were "I was trying to do my regular job and Watson went crazy" scenario makes sense either (some fit that more than others). There just seems to be a lack of info and/or a mix of different scenarios all being treated the same. EDIT: I should add the Watson NDA's are f-ing weird too and make no sense if you were just getting massage. So that's another layer of what-the-hell.
It definitely ignores that ****. Some people need to think way outside the box and figure out what may have motivated these women to continue doing the massage or working with a client that made them uncomfortable. First of all, it seemed a lot of these encounters happened during the height of COVID. So economic situation was iffy for massage type of places considering the pandemic. Second, do these women have children, are they single moms, are they the providers for sick parents, etc. What truly motivates a women to continue working despite being uncomfortable. Did the women want to keep the job and were concerned about pissing off their boss if that boss was truly in love with the idea of Watson being their client. Also, regarding the unlicensed therapists, was there a certain understanding in place of how far they were willing to go? Maybe they were okay with playing some sort of role in it, but did Watson take it over the top (clearly he did for many women to speak out). Considering that money was tight for cosmetologists during the height of pandemic (my sister and brother in law are both cosmetologists, my sister's workload was super reduced and my brother in law had to sell off his barber shop), it is possible that they decided to attempt to do a massage to make some money. Third, clearly Watson has a problem and he clearly crossed the line with a few of these women, if not at all. It seems to me that he preyed on their vulnerabilities and due to his status, he thought he could get away with this ****. I don't know man, to me he seems like a total jackass. Court may not prove jack **** if this all ends up getting settled out of court. I obviously don't have all the facts in front of me, just like the rest of us, but I can put two and two together and can see a huge moral issue here. If he was just paying some escorts to lick his butthole, than that's fine, the guy is rich, he can do whatever he wants, but if he wants attempting to take advantage of vulnerable women based on his status and based on their economic situation, that's pretty damn ****ed up and that's likely what happened here with at least a few cases.
You know absolutely nothing about my world counselor. But nice try when it comes to changing the narrative.
I don't just want Watson off the Texans. I wish his career would be over. Playing in the NFL should be a privilege not a right.
yeah, they are grown women. They had a choice, they decided to go threw with it all. No allegation stated Watson forced any of them to do anything. They could have stopped and walked away but they didn’t…they knew the potential come up on a client like Watson.
That’s not true, there are allegations that he touched them with his dick and grabbed them without consent, and coerced them into performing unwanted acts.
He definitely disappointed us. I know @J.R. and @King1 and myself were some of his biggest fans on here, to the point, that we defended him on wanting out of organization. Nobody likes being made a fool. We have a saying in Tennessee sp? could be Texas. Fool me three times shame on you. Fool me again, I won't be fooled! And Usually when a Trump or a Cuomo gets these allegations against them, they've accumulated them over their entire life span. Deshaun has 24 in one freaking season. Has he averaged 20 each season he has been a pro? There are women you can pay for sex and have them role play your massage fantasies. I would trade him for a late 5th rounder right now. Nobody is going to give you anything more than that until he's cleared, a year and a 1/2 from now. Hoping Deshaun finds his way and gets the help he needs but the fact that he is still thinking more about being traded than the allegations kind of says ho hum, I'm Deshaun, I will be cleared.
So, you either support a rapist and serial abuser of women, or potentially have a less talented QB for a few years. What a hard decision.
Some people just dont get it man. Deshaun has shown to be human trash. Horrible human for what he did to these women. Does he deserve a second chance? Maybe, just hope its not here.
Just about everyone deserves a second chance, but IMO you can't get that second chance till you pay for what you did first.
Of course you don't believe it, after all, Watson is good at football, thus his victims have to be lying....all 20+ of them. I assume many of his fans think the same, it's what he was banking on all along.
No he was banking on people using common sense. You surprise me Mr. theGreat. I thought that you would be a better judge of character.
