COACH TOTORO SAY REFEREE CAN BANISH WHISTLE TO LAND OF WIND AND GHOSTS!

Massage is not exactly a hard science, there isn't an objectively correct singular approach to every aspect. People have different skillsets, different techniques, focuses, etc. The guy I see regularly is very good at dealing with a particular injury I have and getting me generally relaxed, but there are other areas where I'd prefer to see someone else. It wouldn't really benefit me much to see him every day, but seeing someone who did a really fantastic job on my arms and shoulders on another day and then filling space in with random people who could just give me different experiences/deep relaxation would be great. If I were making major money off my body, you bet your rear end I'd have a large variety of specialists working with me and constantly be trying to find new, better approaches.

For another example, I have a relative who has been dealing with Parkinsons for more than a decade, and variety really helps them out a lot.

Professional athletes actually seeking therapeutic massage don't go trolling through Instagram looking for people with little experience as a physiotherapist/masseuse. Watson seems to be going out of his way to put himself in a power imbalance with these women and it's, at best, sleazy as poo poo. Stop trying to rationalize his behaviour.

The lack of prior consent is part of his kink. There's got to be thousands of hot Texans fans who would be willing to give him a massage and get him off. There are also tons of prostitutes who are willing to do the same, and would respect an NDA. That's not what he wants. The guy is a predator and should have been on the exempt list yesterday.

If a relatively obscure former player in the league felt the need to suddenly delete tweets that simply implied that the situation was pretty strange than that really doesn’t bode well for how people in the league are handling this.

Yeah but I'm not Deshaun Watson. If it were me it would have been consensual. Also the women probably would have had bangs

If your argument that you're not a predator is that you've actually been in contact with way more people than you're accused of, it's gonna make the people (like Florio) who thought you never actually contacted any of them and it was all a conspiracy in the first place turn on you

We're still getting regular updates on new cases and stupid poo poo that Tony Buzbee posts on Instagram, so I don't really want to lock the thread...yet.

At some point we'll hit a lull in new info and then I will probably lock it because it's almost guaranteed to get lovely.

For now let's just all type our replies out, go back and read them out loud and ask ourselves, "Is this a weird/lovely/creepy take?" before hitting submit.
