Deshaun Watson is being sued once again due to his disgusting antics.

Now is a good time to remind fans that Deshaun Watson’s return against the Houston Texans is dependent on his behavior. So fans should worry about yet another woman suing Watson for his predatory behavior. The woman is suing Watson due to an encounter in 2020, in which she claims he was coerced into providing sexual acts against her will.

And for those who have gotten too comfortable excusing Watson and his disturbing behvaior, no, this isn’t a Tony Buzbee client, so you’ll have to come up with another conspiracy theory to justiy your support of him.

This isn’t it either. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there will be more lawsuits. There will be more accusations. There will be more women speaking out. Get used to it becausee it will probably never, at least truly, go away.

Deshaun Watson will continue to be a dark cloud over the Cleveland Browns

Watson is a predator. Judge Sue L. Robinson ruled as such. This is what he is. He has a pattern of distrubing actions to his name and for all we know, he’s not truly changed. Now, he’s supposed to be in therapy. His return to the league is dependent on it. Yet, after watching how NFL doctors looked past obvious concusions in recent weeks to get a player back on the field, I have serious doubts that Watson is engaging in therapy, if he’s going at all.

If a third-party doctor (or a team doctor) can pooch a concussion evaluation on Tua Tagovailoa, then why couldn’t an appointed therapist be on the hook as well? The NFL is a grimey industry.

The lawsuist will keep coming. 30 women at least were paid off by the Texans due to their failings. Watson has now had 26 lawsuits filed against him and two women pressed criminal chargers, but no civil suits. So at least there are two more possible lawsuits coming. Watson settled 23, a 24th was dropped, and a 25th is still outstanding.

When that case goes to court, this whole thing is going to blow up. Believe it. When the cases details get out, it will be hard to look past Watson’s past behavior. There is a belief that there is two, three maybe even four times as many women that Watson has had encounters with. So who knows what happens next.

I do believe people can change, if they want to change. I believe that people should be forgiven if they accept their crimes. Names like Michael Vick come to mind. Vick served his time, took ownership, and came back a better man. It’s possible. Heck, even Ryan Leaf was a media darling for a short while, before he got arressted again in 2022.

Until Watson goes through the same, accepts responsibility, speaks to what he’s done, stops letting women take unwarranted abuse from fans and actually betters himself, then we’ll never truly be over with this.
