Buzbee in a few hours. In the meantime, #22 has been filed. quote:From publicly available information [...] Watson used more than fifty different women for massages.1 -- some made clear they were unlicensed, and others made sure they did not specialize in massage therapy. For some, Watson indicated exactly what clothes he wanted the therapist to wear. quote:Plaintiff asked incredulously what he was thinking and he replied "you can sit on it." quote:In his hand he had what said on the top "Non-Disclosure Agreement," telling her that in order for him to pay her she had to sign. Plaintiff, without reading the document, did so. Shortly after he left, Watson sent Plaintiff two hundred and fifty dollar via CashApp, although the service was only sixty-five dollars. Plaintiff felt violated and terrified. All of the physical contact was unwanted.

Apparently what did him in was he racked up so many victims that even with his MO of picking on individual, inexperienced women with no professional networking, he finally had so many that some of them ended up knowing each other and talking about it:quote:https://twitter.com/BSO/status/1379490292017979394 More stuff about the Texans staff knowing:

You know what hit me about these women who come forward? They acquire a lot of their massage clients through social media. Now they're going to have to deal with a bunch of bullshit in their DM's from dumbass fans. I think they absolutely should get paid for all the poo poo they're about to go through.

Yikes. Some of the Texans staff had to know what he was doing. Maybe even some of his teammates too, this is too large of a scale to go completely unnoticed he is a serial assaulter with a pattern over who knows how many years. I wonder if it goes back to Clemson as well.

For him to not get outed for it until now, I would expect he's had guidance from Clemson and Texans staff the entire way.

He deleted a tweet from when he was in high school about how good a massage was didn't he? Which could just mean he got a good massage, but...yeah that benefit of the doubt thing is gone.

grack posted:how loving deep does the rabbit hole go jesus christ One of the documents Buzbee produced mentioned Quincy Avery as one of the people referring Watson to massage therapists, and if it's the same Quincy Avery as the QB coach who worked with Watson in 2018 and 2019, then we're probably going back 3, 4 years for this.

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-nation/texans/article/Texans-take-allegations-against-Deshaun-Watson-16078807.php McNair sent a letter to season ticket holders: quote:"We want to take this opportunity to address the complaint filed with the Houston Police Department and the allegations made in the civil lawsuits filed against Deshaun Watson," the letter stated. "We want to assure you that we take these allegations very seriously. As reported, HPD and the National Football League are conducting investigations and we will cooperate fully. We respect the legal process and will continue to monitor the situation closely.

"We take these allegations seriously enough to not look callous but are not going to fully condemn Watson as we don't want to scare you off from committing to season tickets." Speaking of which, when is the deadline for purchasing Texans season tickets? I would  so hard if the team turns on Watson the day after collecting everybody's  .

If they had traded him and then all this came out surely the league would have to intervene to undo it.

Is there any kind of clause in contracts that lets them get out of future salary payments due to conduct detrimental or something? It’s less about the Texans having to continue paying (but still, gently caress the Texans) and more about having to continue to pay Watson after he’s inevitably banned.

The Patriots remained on the hook for paying Hernandez if that helps. I believe they got some cap relief after a lot of legal stuff like 6 years later.

I would imagine the Texans are extra hosed if it's discovered that people in the organization were facilitating his sexual abuse and kept it under wraps.
