Reading the details of the lawsuit against the Texans, seems like a Buzbee tactic. I don't think there is enough evidence there to prove anything really. Now, for me personally, do I think there is a good chance that some people in the organization had some idea of what he was up to? Yeah, probably. But how far up does that information have to go before someone can claim the Texans as an organization are somehow responsible for the damage Deshaun did? I really have no idea if there is a legal threshold there. I suspect Buzbee won't be able to reach it, wherever it is. Doesn't mean the organization didn't know something, but the evidence seems pretty weak. When accusing Watson, there are dozens of women telling the same or a similar story. When it comes to the Texans, they are making a lot of assumptions about what the team SHOULD have known based on the information. Seems weak. But hell, if it all blew up in Cal's face and he had to sell the team, that wouldn't bother me one bit. I would probably be pretty unhappy if Caserio got fired, because he seems like the right man for the job so far. But if he knew something, he should be fired. I doubt anyone could prove that, though.
It's probably the reason why the Texans cleaned house and fired so many that would have potentially been involved. Remember when people were super triggered about random PR lady getting fired and no one could pinpoint why it happened? Perhaps now we know.
Caserio wasn't even hired yet and Cal is safe because he's an NFL owner. This is nothing compared to Snyder and he hasn't been disciplined. It was speculated she got fired because of her political support for Biden-Harris. McNairs are republicans. She was no longer a good "cultural fit."
The hearing has wrapped for the day, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets. It is expected to continue Wednesday, Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports notes, and Robinson’s decision is expected this week. With a prime news-dump window Friday, ahead of a holiday weekend, it would not surprise if the initial Watson ruling came down then. Once Robinson issues a ruling, an appeal — from the NFL or NFLPA — can commence. The 2020 CBA changed league disciplinary measures, but the NFL handling the Watson appeal still allows for one side to wield a fair amount of power here. Roger Goodell can oversee the appeal or pass it along to someone else within the league’s power structure, USA Today’s Mike Jones notes. https://www.profootballrumors.com/2022/06/nfl-nflpa-far-apart-on-deshaun-watson-suspension-length
This seems like the same thing people were doing right when the lawsuits against Watson were filed. These are allegations - there's a discovery process to answer all your questions. These things shouldn't be tried in the media and we shouldn't be concluding facts-not-in-evidence either way without more details and more info. Who really knows who in the Texans org knew? Maybe it was a low level employee. Or maybe it was Cal and Easterby.
Sure, that's what the baseless speculation was at the time.... however now it seems like there's a much more likely reason, she was helping Watson abuse massage therapists.
Or just as likely, probably being one who supported the "Me Too" movement, she might of warned the front office about Watson. She could have been fired to shut her up and to somewhat impune her reputation if she went public concerning this. Going public could have ended up being career suicide for her. So maybe she and the organization agreed to just part ways. It's just one more thing we'll probably never get answers to.
That's incredibly unlikely, like many she probably pretended to support that nonsense while helping actual abusers get away with it
Whatever the suspension is...if there's a suspension at all...Watson be active by the Dec. 4th game against the Texans. There's too much money to be made from that one game.
Serious question. From a legal aspect does it matter if it was just a low-level employee? If it was just a low level employee is the team still culpable legally?
Just curious... how are they going to make "more" money from that game? Its not like networks can charge different advertising rates for individual regular season games, especially a game that won't be a national telecast (and will likely get CBS' D or E team at best). Yes, the Texans will sell out that game (just like they sell out all games), and maybe less no-shows for this one in particular (which will lead to more concessions/merchandise sales), but that's about it. Lastly, not much of the country cares about either of these teams... even if there's high drama.
The guy is a Watson fanboi, he's conflating his personal interest in seeing Watson play against the Texans with a nationwide interest in it. The nationwide interest would probably be in Watson being suspended for a year or more for abusing literally dozens of women.
Sad you would think like that. Ben is a scumbag too if that's what you were looking for. I'm guessing though that since you support Watson you're probably a trash human being just like him.
