If available, would you trade for Deshaun Watson?

Ask yourself why Kareem Hunt was released but Tyreek Hill wasn't.  "Cancel culture" had nothing to do with it.

The NFL will still happily employ any player they think will make them money.

This could be a deal breaker for anyone wanting to trade for Watson though especially if it could mean missing games in 2021 although I don't think these lawsuits alone are enough for that. The NFL will do their own investigation though and who knows that that will turn up.

Misisng games or even potential jail time down the road is the only reason a team would be reluctant to trade for him based off of this. He could beat 20 hookers on camera and that wouldn't stop a team from acquiring him as long as the league says there will be no suspension.

Four more lawsuits have now been filed against Watson.

I'm sorry but I think his goose is cooked.  He won't be playing football in 2021 even if he wants to

Like I said above, are these lawsuits from the same lawyer and the same place? Because if it was a shady lawyer looking for a payday, that can very easily be put together. You can throw on another 39 from the same place and it's just as good as one.

Now, if these are from many different lawyers and many different places, then that is harder to fake and doesn't look good.

"Four new lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct have been filed against Deshaun Watson.

The Houston Chronicle reported the new batch of suits filed by women who claim Watson engaged in misconduct during massage sessions. One of the new lawsuits alleges that Watson assaulted the same massage therapist twice in fall 2020. Six of the lawsuits accuse Watson of inappropriately touching women with his penis. He allegedly resisted wearing towels to cover his naked body during the massage sessions."

If this is the same place, then it is not credible to me. No way are you letting a large rapist into your establishment to sexually assault your workers almost a dozen different times.

Or maybe you are as long as he's kicking ass for your team, but the minute he wants to leave, you bring this out in the open.  Either way, it's blackmail. if that's the case.

This happens a lot to athletes and politicians. They essentially get blackmailed in the form of a frivilous lawsuit and pay them off in the small 6 figures just to not be publicly embarassed. Watson says he was messaged asking for this amount and said no, then the lawsuits came. IMO, this is very likely a brothel type place and they figured he wouldn't want people to know but DeShaun just said fuck it and is calling them out on it. I just can't fathom one location would allow a large rapist to come to their establishment so many times, nor would they press charges.

You of course assume the place isn't shady as hell and the ownership don't give a fuck about the workers and would rather be on good terms with the star QB. .. Cause that scenario never exists right?

If that's the case though Watson probably walks away from these law suits without a scratch. It doesn't support your case if you allow someone to engage in the same bad behavior over and over and then later file a lawsuit against that person for their bad behavior. Your odds of winning those lawsuits goes down tremendously when you knowingly allowed the behavior. So the question will be what evidence is there that a) He did the things alleged and b) The ownership/workers knew about it and did nothing to stop it.

If prostitution was legal, regulated, and taxed, not just in some places in Nevada, then this wouldn't be an issue.

It's not impossible but when dealing with a celebrity or athlete, you always have power to go to the press or an attorney. It's a lot different when dealing with just a businessman because the media attention will not be there.

Assault and prostitution are different things. If Watson wants a prostitute I'm sure it wouldn't be tough. Hell I can find them if I want.

Buzbee (the attorney) said the women who have filed suits didn't previously know each other. If true i doesn't sound like one place is getting the mob together.

[ArtieChokePhin]

And now up to 20 women have made allegations against him.   Things keep getting worse for him
