If they could prove definitively that the Texans knew when they traded him, maybe, but otherwise not a chance. The NFL as an organization does not want to get into that kind of thing and the other owners not involved in the trade would never sign off on a regime where the NFL could void trades other than like salary cap violations. It's obviously moot now so everyone can enjoy the Texans completely cratering with no QB OR draft picks and being the first team to lose 17 games two seasons in a row

Something I’ve never quite understood is why the NBA was against a trade that would have benefited their biggest team and biggest star which would have kept the Lakers a championship contender. Because they wanted the loving Clippers to be better?

Nodoze posted:That was David Stern and the NFL would never do that Full on void, probably not. That said, there’s a few stories of the league meddling with trades and stuff in the 70s and 80s, such as Al Davis trying to move up to get Elway in ‘83 with a trade with the Bears falling apart. In other words, bring back the Rozelle-Davis blood feud.

Because they wanted the loving Clippers to be better? Because they didn't want the Hornets (at the time) to fold and thought they needed a star player I think? Obviously they let them make a trade later, but that was after a whole lot of 'um, what the hell are you doing?' in the press. I might be remembering this incorrectly.

Ehud posted:You know what hit me about these women who come forward? They acquire a lot of their massage clients through social media. I dated a physiotherapist for years, and she didn’t post any photos publicly on Facebook or Instagram specifically to discourage creeps. All her work came through a practice office via insurance anyway, but it was still a worry. For a job that involves physical contact in a private room, anything that allows people to hire you because you’re an attractive young woman rather than based on credentials or recommendations is a bad idea.

Well we have the literal words of one of the victims alleging that members of the Texans organization knew so loving excuse me if I’m curious if one of Watson’s closest friends on the team might have known. gently caress off.

At this point it's safe to assume Watson should never play a down again in the NFL and the Texans deserve to be the worst team in the NFL that they're gonna be for the next 2-3 years.

There would've been enough rumblings within the Texans organization to at least warrant an internal investigation. But they turned a blind eye for a few years of bad records and divisional round exits.
