Is Deshaun Watson Done in Houston?

You people are dumb. If the Texans have a "if we can't have him, nobody can" mindset/strategy then they simply don’t trade him.  

And he would sit, and they would get murdered in the media. This makes all of that not happen now.

 

It befuddles me that you people expect anything different out of an organization with their track record.

We talk about this on the pod with literally initial reactions without knowing any details at all except for some type of allegation. 

All of us immediately thought fuckery was afoot. Now that there are 9, I am leaning towards this is definitely true, but the Texans are also behind it - people that think billionaires won't destroy people just because they can are really really naive. Especially when it has to do with disrespect. This is a clean way to ruin someone without legal ramification or moral ramification.

It’s 9, in part, because Watson has been under surveillance. It seems likely that the Texans initiated the investigation.

Whether that’s true or not, it could have already been known by Watson’s camp and this could be related to why the vitriol was so severe.

The whole episode reminds me of Hollywood studio heads owning contracts of actors and being part of blackmail schemes so they can improve their leverage.

If it ever came to light that the Texans facilitated these claims in any way (regardless of their veracity), they would immediately become the ultimate pariah in professional sports and current ownership would be forced to sell the team at a discount.

It's very interesting to see the fan fic bois ascribed a certain level of evil to an entire organization that while known for continently making stupid decisions have never been involved in anything sinister compared to writing off the possibility that Watson is entirely at fault for being a sexual predator.

Given what we have seen in America the past few years, the most likely scenario is that Watson likes butt stuff with strangers and thought because of his wealth, power, and privilege all these encounters were 100% consensual.

Because it’s publicity. You can advertise yourself and your services. Social media is a conglomerate of advertising. More importantly it’s absolutely free and if your following grows enough you can make money off of your post. 
 

There is a video of Lana Rhodes talking about she makes more money off social media than porn.

Nah, I've been mostly skimming articles. As I said, this feels too much like bullshit to really focus on.

Deshaun has my benefit of the doubt over IG clout chasers until something real materializes.

IIRC, I read something about a masseuse being naked during the massage, then saying that she was uncomfortable when his penis was erect. Why was she naked in the first place?

Cases like this are Rorschach tests. Some people will believe her, some him, without any knowledge of the situation.  

I'll say two things, though. Any woman who runs a massage service out of her house and advertises on Instagram cannot be surprised if some of her customers expect more than a massage. Hell, I'm just on Facebook, and probably half of my "friend" requests are thots looking for johns, and my Facebook is about as clean as it gets. I never have anything remotely sexual on it. 

I'd also guess that most NFL franchises have people on staff for massages and physical therapy.

The masseuse can write any story she wants. And if she has that text, and her lawyer has it, and they know they have it, I'd think they are a little more likely to color the events in their favor. Because, like I already fucking told you, it's basically going to come down to he said she said. This isn't about what you personally beleive or not. 

Also, last time I checked, I'm not a multimillionaire sports celebrity with a finely-crafted image and public persona. The lines that I have to cross to get sued and that Deshaun has to cross to get sued are pretty different.

HtownHomer, it’s plausible that the Texans, led by prosperity evangelicals who are purging themselves of people not like them, who have been involved in a major smear campaign before, who are neighbors with the lawyer leveling the accusations, who are have shown they are overly involved with the personal lives of employees, and have created a toxic culture, have a hand in a smear campaign against Deshaun.

The timing is suspect. The collection of witnesses is suspect.

It’s more likely than not that Watson was under surveillance for a period of time. How did it start? It’s possible a complainant initiated a meeting with Buzbee and that the investigation led to other victims.

But why Watson? Why now? It’s also possible Easterby and McNair initiated surveillance, including phone hacking.

It’s also possible McNair and Easterby are pieces of shit AND that Watson is a piece of shit creeper.

We don’t know, but coming into this many people had low opinions of Cal McNair and Easterby. And higher opinions of Watson. We’ll see how this plays out.

Reminds me of that Dave Chappell standup where he talks about whores.

“Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Just because I'm dressed this way does not make me a whore!" Which is true, Gentlemen, that is true. Just because they dress a certain way doesn't mean they are a certain way. Don't even forget it. But ladies, you must understand that is fucking confusing.It just is. Now that would be like me, Dave Chappelle, the comedian, walking down the street in a cop uniform. Somebody might run up on me saying, "Oh, thank God. Officer, help us! Come on. They're over here. Help us!" "Oh-hoh! Just because I'm dressed this way does not make me a police officer!" See what I mean? All right, ladies, fine. You are not a whore. But you are wearing a whore's uniform.

The account of the third alleged victim really rings true to me. The article I posted above has the official law suit filings for all three. She as newly engaged, just graduated chiropractic school in Houston. She is a licensed mobile massage therapist and was excited that a professional football player would want to use her services. As another poster mentioned she was so upset by being forced to perform oral sex on him that she basically shit in her pants. That’s not something someone would want to divulge. Of course I want to see all the evidence etc...but the more I read the more I start to doubt his innocence. I hope to be wrong because this is awful. It seems so out of line with the image he is known for. I don’t want to believe it’s true.
