The off-the-field stuff that nobody except Watson, his victims, and law enforcement know about will dictate what (if any) trade value he might have.

You shouldn’t throw around the word rapist that loosely. Seems like you’re just trying to prove some kind of point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there's 22 women (that came forward). I just realized this a minute ago. TWENTY-TWO. It's safe for any of us here on a forum to go ahead and label him that negatively. He's very much guilty in the court of public opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's utterly insane to me how people are just ignoring that elephant in the room. If these allegations are even a little true, the dude is a sick perverted individual who doesn't belong in front of a national audience. I won't minimize that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the old phrase "where there's smoke there's fire" is a phrase for a reason. And this is about as much smoke as you'll ever see. He's for sure going to prison. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reeks of the Darren Sharper situation and while every case is unique, I think Watson is going to suffer a similar fate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of it has to do with how Watson was viewed pre-accusations. Nobody ever had a bad thing to say about him. Extremely likable. The same reason everyone supported him 100% when he was trying to get out of Houston. For a lot of people, it still seems unfathomable that Watson would do the things he has been accused off. Not to steer this too off-topic, but there are examples like this in real-life too. It took a long, long time for people to accept Bill Cosby for who he is. And a lot of people still haven't. I am pretty sure Watson is guilty. Even if not of everything, he's guilty of something. Something bad. Too many accusations. And I would be concerned about him coming back to the NFL, if only because it might mean him continuing to surround himself with individuals who aren't denouncing his behavior enough. He needs serious help because he's definitely addicted, if it's happened this many times. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media and other groups have gone laughably soft on Watson relative to others who have been ACCUSED of similar behavior....some with far less accusers and/or evidence. Watson absolutely deserves a fair trial, but its just pathetic how manufactured the outrage is based on who is being accused of said behavior. The standard is and should ALWAYS BE, "innocent until proven guilty", and in this case, that seems to be the approach...but we have seen many cases of the "guilty until proven innocent" over the years for others who have been accused. Anyway....I stand by what I said. The Texans wont get much of anything for Watson with this hanging over his head. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
