Wants her day in court. Why do you have a problem with that?
No problem with it, but her day in court is about money. Idea she needs to be in court to talk about what happened is what I don't agree with.

Also it's very possible she didn't accept the settlement because she wants more.....wait for it.....money.

This is your unbiased view point? What evidence do you base that on?

Geez man. How much is Deshaun paying you to be his PR director? Whatever it is, it is not enough based on the effort you are going through. I would ask for a "raise" kinda like he did with all his massage therapists.
I'd say not enough, as dt has made this a full time job.

Because I don't believe every opinion that goes against him means I'm biased? I mean, I've said watson has issues, needs help, a suspension from anywhere between no games to a year+ can be justified. Do you just get confused by someone not being 100% on one side or another (don't be afraid to admit it if you are as many can be thrown off by that).
Yes.

OK...but you even agree with me she cannot get something other than money.
She can tell her story for the rest of both of their lives. Perhaps that's what she prefers? She could write a book, go on 60 minutes, be a vocal anti-sexual harassment/#metoo voice, whatever she wants.

Personally, I think she will settle eventually. IMO She deserves more than the others because being the first one to come forward takes a lot of guts. I mean people are still pretending they are lying or saying "well, we don't know for sure" even with 26 women out there stating what he did.

I mean, I never said I would dismiss it out of hand, I just don't take everything that supports an agenda as fact. You do and that's cool.

The same evidence being used by others in saying she wants something more than money?

I agree she will settle, too....meaning all she wanted was more money.

Pretty funny, you accusing others of having a agenda. Something you fall back on a lot. How many different posters have you accused of having a agenda? Next time you want to accuse someone of having an agenda do it while looking in the mirror.

If she gets more money and no NDA.
She may feel she has already accomplished her goal of exposing him as a sexual predator for the whole world to know. At this point anyone with even the slightest hint of objectivity can see what he is and that he is obviously guilty. She may request as part of her settlement/award (if she goes to a hearing) his going to counseling or use part of the settlement for a victim's fund or simply for him to give a public apology. Who knows what her goal is, but that sure isn't for a Watson apologist to judge.

To answer your question, I'd say maybe a half dozen in this thread? whoever seems to be 1005 on one side of the discussion. No mirror in this room, but me willing to see both sides is not exactly me having an agenda. Just because I do not believe everything I hear against Watson does not mean I have an agenda....though when you do believe it all you do have an agenda, Mr. Pot.

I would think they care more about what his actual indiscretions are never mind all you are doing is guessing he lied.
Not much of a guess - his contract with the Browns only exempts the cases he disclosed.

Is it only for you to judge with your anti watson agenda? was there any story you could have heard where you'd have thought, "now wait a minute"?

How, exactly, am I a Watson apologist as I have also said he needs help/counseling no matter what the outcome as you just mentioned. Also said a year+ suspension could be justified. Pretty sure I saw something today about a fund of some sort he set up.

Do I really have to believe everything I hear about him and run with it?

Even the ones who filed after the trade?
Not sure how fast they are, but it's been an ongoing investigation. Doing due diligence before the trade is the Browns problem, really. The league's job is to decide about player discipline and investigate for that purpose, not according the Browns' calendar.

My guess is the league told the Browns something like, "based on what we know so far, we're looking at this range of suspended games, but if something else comes up we can't promise anything."

OK.....it's only a lie if more came forward who told the truth and some of those additional victims stories are suspect. I mean, he cannot stop others from still coming forward and, sure, they could be telling the truth. But maybe they aren't?
