1. Watson doesn't want to be there, so why wouldn't you try to get something out of him?
2. This only worsens the ability to get that "something" out of him
3. In the event that no deals can be made, do you really want to keep Watson at this point?
4. If the allegations turn out to be true, you're likely either not going to have him anyways...

talk about biting one's nose off to spite their face....this would be it!

Watson's attorney can argue that the text apology mitigated damages by several tens of thousands of dollars.

Watson's attorney needs to present evidence on how many Instagram marketed masseuses will play with a dick.

That would be hilarious if he had dozens of examples.

The coordination of these lawsuits hurts the victims cases, I don't doubt that Deshaun acted a little too strongly towards them, given his money, success and stature he probably thought they wanted him to come on as an alpha, but expecting 7 suits to come out within a week or two of each other downplays the severity of the issue to more than a settlement and a slap on the wrist. It likely ruins Deshaun's trade demand or at least diminishes his destinations from what he wants, to whatever team will take the PR on in the trade which I'm sure their will still be suitors. We need to understand severity when dealing with these cases, if you're a masseuse, and you see people naked all the time, or at least naked under a sheet, don't be surprised when you see a penis, when one grazes your arm or hand, and as a woman in this world you shouldn't think a forced kiss would net you millions of dollars in "damages". Do women deserve to be taken seriously? Yes. Do they deserve millions of dollars for allegations that these specific women are saying? No. Get what you can take ladies, congrats on the score and I hope you can heal from the trauma. The media will tell you you're doing the right thing, I will say you're using your gender, sexuality and a hyper-sensitive time in our culture, to get as much as you can from something that you and I both know isn't that big of a deal. Deshaun Watson is a far cry from Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein, we joke about it, but Deshaun's not laughing, he's just the latest to get caught.

Interesting angle. I would think texting an apology, even though well-intentioned, would do nothing from a legal standpoint other than to serve as a confession that he acted inappropriately. If it's already established that he did something wrong, then yeah, it might lighten the sentence. But in this case it corroborates her claims to some degree.

I also can't see any value in pointing out that there are other massage therapists on Instagram who would be fine with doing what Watson wanted. If the defense is making a case that the plaintiff's are all lying about what happened, it would seem odd to try to build evidence that Watson was in the right by assuming they were all prostitutes.

I get it, some women are use to creepers hitting on them. Saying hi isn't hitting on you, and quite frankly, had you not been starring at me i never woulda said shit in the first damn place. ****ing weirdos.

In case you are fooling yourself about hitting on 'em, I recommend trade the nod your head and say hi for shake your head and say, "no chance" like she has no chance at you.

That might separate the wheat from the chaff. Build intrigue in the potentials and quickly identify the indifferent.

That's what I'm wondering. If it is, feel like this opens up pandoras box for athletes and sex workers, let alone hook the gazillion hook ups. depends on how bad these texts are. What's been released is far from damning but shows some potential for it. But also so much of this looks like Watson is being exploited.

I said in an earlier post that he probably does this ALL THE TIME. It was never an issue either until it just became one. :(

We are now up to 20 accusers. I'm sure even more will follow now.

I don't understand why a guy like Deshaun, Kraft, etc. can't just do that instead of using masseuses'. Is it a fetish or something?
