Derrick Deshaun Watson is an American football quarterback for the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League. He played college football at Clemson, where he led the team to a national championship in 2016. Watson was selected in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans.
Deshaun Watson: To the browns| Falcons| Browns trade
To the Browns:
Still facing 22 civil suits for sexual misconduct after a grand jury did not find cause to charge him criminally, and having not played in over a year, Watson and his agent David Mulugheta engaged in a disgusting game of “The NFL Bachelor,” telling teams to make their pitches and then slowly letting finalists know who was still in the running for the final rose. The wilted, thorn-covered rose.
After once telling the Browns they weren’t pretty enough, Cleveland got a lot more attractive when it offered the thing everything almost always comes down to: money.
Falcons:
To players, the notion is reinforced once again that if you’re talented enough, it truly doesn’t matter what you do or what you’re accused of. The league will always have a place for you.
Actually, let’s amend: It doesn’t matter what you do to women, the league will always have a place for you.
If you take a stand for the rights of Black people like Colin Kaepernick did, you will be summarily exorcised and have coaches like Pete Carroll say things like, “Well, I know we don’t have a quarterback and I believe he deserves a place in the NFL, it just won’t be with us.”
Browns trade:
The Cleveland Browns are thumbing their nose at those women, reminding us why so few women come forward with accusations to begin with. Undoubtedly, the women Cleveland is insulting include members of their fan base and team employees.
Which is pretty much the American stance toward equity for Black people at large for the last 150 years or so.
The Browns committed to a five-year, fully guaranteed contract that included a raise, and suddenly they became the apple of Watson’s eye.
