Mike Florio, of course, is right here. Although placing Watson on the Commissioner Exempt list would be a merely symbolic gesture until the new league year starts, it's an important message.
In no way would such an action be a verdict of guilty against Watson.
That said, the more that you look into this story, the more damning it appears to be for Watson.
One thing that we can be sure of is that Watson is guilty of a lot of stupid and suspicious activity.
One of his accusers is a resident of Georgia who he flew to Houston. She couldn't bring her own table; so, Watson asked her to massage him on the bed. When she wouldn't do that, he borrowed a massage table from the Texans' training facility.
Even if Watson, by some odd circumstance, ends up being exonerated, which is incredibly unlikely, you've still gotta smack him over the back of the head for being so stupid.
I have to admit that this is just a feeling...perhaps an observation, either way, I have no hard evidence; but, it seems like the Deshaun Watson scandal is getting a lot less attention than the Tiger Woods scandal a few years back.
That's weird. At least in the case of Tiger Woods, all of the sex that Tiger Woods had was apparently consensual. Watson is facing twenty-two lawsuits and two criminal complaints all alleging some sort of sexual harassment, to abuse, to possibly even worse.
It seems like Mike Florio is the only person spending a significant amount of time covering this.
