No criminal charges for Deshaun Watson

[dtgold88]

ok I stand corrected sir.

but an owner being suspended is kind of a joke.
Sits & watches the game on their Yacht with a 500k party.
Doesnt affect contracts or the team nor the cap.

Still Apples & Oranges.

I agree suspending an owner does not mean all that much. But a $10 mil fine is not exactly holding them to a higher standard IMO.

I'm not even saying Watson deserves a much lesser punishment on its own merit but it is suspect if he would get a year or more compared to Kraft (or snyder and/or Jones).

 

[dtgold88]

or he is just saying the right things to the media knowing things wont get resolved

or he'd be an adult if the Browns called and would listen.

Cannot be suspended but they have said owners should be held to a higher standard. Wouldn't that mean if Kraft got what amounts to barely a slap on the wrist Watson losing a full season of play (or more) might be a bit excessive?

While I could agree they should be held to a higher standard. Not that Billionaires will ever be considered for this. Doesnt mean those ideas are in printed document somewhere.
However to use your example.
One using a consenting prostitute, & another be a sexual predator of women (possible 20+ of them) against their will, is light years difference to compare.

If Watson got a happy ending from one chick because she offered it. I wouldnt give a shit about what he does. However Sexual Assault is a whole different can of worms.

 

[dtgold88]

Could be, not Would be, and he also said but sides have moved on.

Again, the Browns DON'T want Baker, and Baker DOESN’T want the Browns.

Your latter comment can be true, along with both sides being better off with each other under certain circumstances (one of them being Watson out for the season).

Has Kraft or Jones been accused of sexual assault?

As for Snyder, I don't know why the NFL is reluctant to punish him. I can only assume Snyder has very damning dirt on high ranking NFL Leadership and /or owners.

Totally agree with your last comment but what happened may have been the former and not the latter.

Well always listen. Never know what they are gonna offer. Which is obvious when we see Watsons contract.

I really don't see both sides being better off at this point.

Kraft was more than accused, he was caught on tape.

well played

But in this case unless we give him an extension which we know wont happen all the Browns would offer is his money to show up.

I might lean towards the 50/50 on this if only one woman was accusing him.
At this point though. Personal opinion. He's fucking guilty.

Cleveland with healthy Baker has a decent shot at the playoffs. Cleveland with Jacoby Brissett.....man....thats the worst starting QB in the NFL, right?

 

[dtgold88]

That's fine but a realistic argument can be made that they would be.

Browns would be if Baker is better than Brissett, especially if the feeling is he's a lot better.......Baker would be as it gives him a chance to play in an offense he knows as opposed to the unknown which could mean he's a backup or not even on a team. Or on a team, but a less desirable team as far as talent around him.

snyder was fined 10 mil and stepped away from the team

I don't think he's the worst as maybe better than some of the rookies or second year guys among others. But he might be in the conversation.

Still no spinner, no matter the number of times you say the same horse poop

whicfh was thrown out of court
he had sex with 1 watson molested 24 or more

He was charged by law enforcement, no victim ever accused him.


Edit: Furthermore, Kraft wasn't charged with Sexual Assault, he was charged with prostitution. If he were convicted, he wouldn't have face prison time, whereas the assailult Watson is accused of, he would face prison time if convicted.
