Popular Post Asymmetrical Posted March 19 Popular Post Share Posted March 19 1 hour ago, T0mShane said: At least twenty of the masseuses were under contract to one guy to represent them. That guy happens to be a Texans superfan who is friendly with the lunatic owner of the franchise. This was all covered in the Vrentas piece. The woman Vrentas was talking to wouldn’t sign on to Buzbee’s deal because, as Vrentas writes: She contacted Buzbee’s firm after the first complaints were filed, but says she felt pressured to sign a contract for them to represent her and declined. celeb lawyer is an amoral leech =/= all of these women are lying. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal N of Provo Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 34 minutes ago, T0mShane said: This is from the SI article: This is what “Mary” alleges: Mary makes clear that Watson did not touch her, nor did he force her into conducting any sexual acts. This is what “Mary” wants: I just want a genuine apology, for us and our community, for putting us in these situations where we don't know what to do,” she says. So he sexually harassed her not sexually assaulted her? And that’s a good thing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 5 minutes ago, Spoot-Face said: Dude, I was not to comparing Watson to a pedo. I was making a point about escalating predatory behavior. Just because he didn't touch "Mary", doesn't mean he didn't escalate his behavior in future encounters (exactly what he's accused of). So you wanted Watson jailed for what he hypothetically may have done because he hypothetically escalated his level of criminality from this instance of first-hand testimony from one of his actual accusers?

bla bla bla Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 1 hour ago, DetroitRed said: None. Maybe you can vote for the local politician who will make that the standard in your district. or you can ask they provide the evidence that he is a predator, if that is what you are accusing him of. What I think should happen and what I want to happen are 2 different things. If Zeke can get 6 games after not being charged in 1 domestic violence incident then I think suspending Watson 1 season after not getting charged in 22 separate incidents across 4 states is a slap on the wrist. He clearly restructured his deal to lose $50k per game instead of the $2m he was slated to lose in a suspension. I'd like to believe the league will take this into account when handling a suspension. Personally I hope he plays this year and gets suspended in 2023 so he really feels the hit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not exactly a hypothetical if that's what he's been accused of doing. You pointed to Mary's case in that she didn't accuse Watson of touching her, so he's really done nothing wrong, but other women have; from touching them with his penis, to forced oral, to ejaculating on them. That's an escalation. How is any of that not assault? F*ck, spitting on someone is assault. But, I get it. You think they 100% must be lying because their lawyer is a turd. Never mind that Mary paints a picture that supports those accusations, and only came out after they did, so it's not like Buzbee saw Mary's accusation first, then decided to find some women to fabricate escalating claims. Look, you're a poster who I generally respect, and agree with your opinions (football and non-football) more often than not, which is why I'm engaging with you on this. But it's clear to me that we're not going to see eye to eye on this, or persuade the one another, so I'm just going to leave it here, dude.

Rooting for a serial sexual predator is where I would draw the line with this team. I’m grateful the NY Jets ownership seem to share this view. This ownership has brought in and hired convicted criminals. If we are to believe the rumors, they also inquired into bringing him in. Let’s not act as if ownership are stewards of morals and ethics. If Watson could have been had for a lower price, this FO would have jumped at it, just as any other QB needy FO would have. Inferring that I’m in the minority for putting it aside is disingenuous at best; stupid at worst. I know Deshaun is not innocent, and he’s a terrible person for it. That being said, I’m sure half of the ppl in all sports terrible in some form. We either don’t know about it (yet) or know that it doesn’t matter either way in the grand scheme. My feelingd didn’t stop him from doing d-bag things all these years, and won’t prevent him from doing d-bag things in the future. So if he’s gonna be allowed to play, I’d rather he play for my team since our current QB just wrapped up a worst-in-league campaign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other first-hand testimony we heard was from Ashley Solis, who claimed that Watson “touched [her] with his penis” during a massage. You don’t have to assert imaginary escalations into these cases because we have two first-hand accounts of what actually happened in these cases. Gross sh*t, certainly, but a long ways away from what you’re suggesting happened, and it seems that this is what the courts and law enforcement concluded as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not happy about bringing Vick in and I can tell you my wife hasn't watched another football game since. If Watson went to jail, paid is debt to society, condemned what he did - I could appreciate and accept that. That's not remotely what's happened here.

I’ll answer this question because I believe that it’s important that society realizes that we shouldn’t tell any woman what they should and shouldn’t do because disgusting perverts can’t control themselves: “Honey, I support whatever you have a passion for, but there are things out of your control when it comes to other people’s behaviors. Always be a professional, don’t let anyone coerce you into anything you are not supposed to do, or aren’t comfortable doing, always make sure you have a way out and, most importantly, have a way to defend yourself.” 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogglez Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 7 minutes ago, DetroitRed said: Thanks for the response. I am hoping the fathers ’ identify themselves No problem. I apologize for the harshness earlier by the way. What you asked is a good question here because while we would prefer to shelter our own from the roughness of the world, I do believe it is important that we support what they want to do. I wanted to serve in the military before I was diagnosed with epilepsy. My mother couldn’t stomach the idea of it…but she still wouldn’t have stopped me because she knew that it was something I wanted to do. My other brother wanted to follow in our family footsteps and become an LEO. Despite her brother and father being Sgts. in the NYPD, she still didn’t want to worry about her son every single time he went to work. Obviously massage therapist isn’t the same as the military or LEO, but there is a dangerous side of it due to the way the human race works. That said, I would support my children in anything they wanted to do, even if the “what ifs” scared the living daylights out of me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Island Leprechaun Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 12 minutes ago, DetroitRed said: Sure. If you are a Dad , you can answer my question, or not I am, with a 21 year old daughter. As I said, it's not the profession, per se. Based on situations like the Watson case, I would want my daughter to be in as safe an evironment as possible. Perhaps have an assistant present at all times, whether in a studio setting or in home. I'm not sure in home is even wise, to be honest. I don't think Watson would have been stupid enough to engage in any antics if there was a third party present. But then again, he's a young guy who, if nothing else, seemed to think it was cool to get off sexually with people who were hired for a non-sexual service. I can imagine there will always be men or women who would engage the request for sex and a few extra bucks, but I would also guess there are many who would be truly offended and frighened by such aggression. It's ugly, no matter the legal ramifications. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
