Or his ability to play QB. Or the cap. Or whatever else. He’s a sexual predator. That’s the issue for many. Yep. I'll be so pissed if we sign him for that reason. Maybe next we'll talk Big Biff Roofiesbuggerer out of retirement to be the backup QB too and have our own Longest Yard team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those aren’t the same thing. If you’re not sure why, maybe go read up on the case and why cases like this are notoriously hard to prosecute. How old were you when OJ had his open investigation by the court, was confident he did nothing wrong and was “found innocent”? Fair, I dont think this ends well for anybody involved. What Kareem did was bad enough and people still hate him, let alone 22 counts of something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a fit of rage, one time incident. Is is excusable? Absolutely not. But it doesn’t show a pattern of predatory behavior. Kareem to Watson is apples to oranges. Some people won’t care, and that’s fine, either you do or you don’t. But as a man and a father, I find it hard to tell by boys it’s ok to root for a guy like Watson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect Reddit post I saw: What Kareem did and what Watson is accused of doing aren't even close to being similar. I say this as someone who would still watch and root for the Browns even if we did trade for Watson. I just don't particularly want him, nor do I think we'll acquire him.

This is a disingenuous comparison. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure our fan base applauds him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect Reddit post I saw: 1. Fair or not, one is a quarterback and one is a running back, so the whole "face of the franchise" thing is a factor 2. We are talking about one REALLY BAD incident that's a one time thing, whereas the other is a systemic history of sexual assault. One is a predator, one may or may not have done it more than once, and kicking someone, while awful, is not in the same ballpark IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect Reddit post I saw: So much this, its so much moral grandstanding, honestly, no one cares about your moral values, this is football, this is entertainment. If you arent going to be a fan any longer because of this, do it, don't talk about it because real fans don't care. A lot of people use this as an opportunity to grandstand and parade around talking about how much they are morally better than others, which no one really cares....
