NFL and Owners continue to sweep these things under the rug. Just win me football games dang nammit! Oh, I don't disagree.... I mean Kaep pissed off a lot of people (not judging him at all - just stating the fact) and that type of headache isn't worth it for a back-up. Watson seems to be a pretty disturbed dude. I, for one, would be done with the team if he was playing on it. Bottom line though - The NFL and Browns have simply decided his upside outweighs his downside. His problems are worth the headache.

If enabling this type of stuff begins to impact revenue, that is when Roger will take significant action. the sponsors wont do anything cause we wont stop watching. who is going to stop watching? some Cleveland fans? those guys might talk a good game but how many fans who have sit through 30-40 years of losing then will stop watching their team win 10-12 games a year and almost always in the SB. i dont believe they will 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost versus Cleveland in a 2020 game 10 to 7. Dome/outdoor splits is like 50yds per game difference. He played a minimum of 9 games in domes each year. Add in handing off to Chubb & Johnson most of the time and he is gonna have a big fall off in stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me old fashioned, but I think it’s better to continue calling out people, the broken justice system, and society in general, for being absolute failures when it comes to holding ANYONE accountable, let alone the rich and powerful, who get away with a lot more heinous garbage. All throughout this series of events, I’ve read things along the lines of “there’s no evidence that says he DEFINITELY did it, therefore he didn’t”. Guess what? The same sh*t applies to OJ Simpson, Casey Anthony, George Zimmerman, etc., I could keep going. I don’t know about you, but I’m not letting Casey Anthony babysit my kids, so EVERYONE defending Watson better keep that same energy if he asks them to give him a massage or if George Zimmerman asks to join their Neighborhood Watch. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s our job to remind these people that without fans to watch, they are nothing and no one. We don’t do anything to hold them accountable though. Cleveland fans will still attend games. These woman will be dejected, regardless of how the civil suits go, Watson will, likely, get 4-6 games, Cleveland will sell-out every game, ratings will be up in an important NFL market, and life will just go on.
