Sorry dude, but the suggestion that if this doesn't go to criminal court nobody's going to care is completely off the mark.

The allegations that have been made here are pretty serious, and the notion that a team in this day and age would just sweep them under the rug is just not credible.

Well dude (I guess this is a thing now), I never said that no one was not going to care. I was speaking to the legality of the situation. Apparently there are a few folks here that do not understand that there is a difference in civil and criminal. 

Think of OJ Simpson as an example. The police had enough evidence to charge him and take him to criminal court. When judgement was passed he was found not guilty by a jury of his peers. However, perception and circumstantial evidence clearly showed that he probably was guilty (I think that he was) and that led to the civil lawsuit that found him guilty. The judgement was a financial penalty that he is still paying, or will pay for the remainder of his life.

Yeah the way it is being handled is scummy as hell.  

I mean, the sex stuff aside--

Client solicitation is an ABA conduct violation.  He marketed his own experience and background in his rambling posts while basically advertising the forthcoming lawsuits like it was a preview for a tv show.  And now it looks more like him vs. Deshaun rather than the women he claims he represents.

And now, he's glamorizing this and it's just unfortunate regardless of what really happened (which sounds like it could be bad news for Watson).

Let's just get Lance haha

Not sure who's "excited" (except maybe Sizzlebuzz) but this is way beyond being just a football story. Frankly, it's a pretty terrible story overall. The football part of it is the least concern.

As Ellis pointed out, somebody winds up hurt in all this. Maybe it's an innocent guy. Maybe it's a group of victimized women. Who knows... but it's all pretty nasty either way.

That's not really something anybody should be "excited" about.

Again, some of the women involved in this story are state licensed massage therapists. As was pointed out, that's not an easy thing to become. And if it were true, that would be a pretty easy thing to figure out.

Just because they're licensed doesn't mean they wouldn't do it. Are they risking getting their license revoked, yes, but the tradeoff of getting a payday is probably worth it.  They could get more money in a civil law suit settlement than if they worked as massage therapists for 30 years.  If they really wanted "justice", they could have filed criminal charges.

Let's just say the fact they all have this slimeball for an attorney makes them less believable in my view

People wonder why women struggle to come out after an assault...

As was previously asked, all nine of them?

Worth noting that yhey're risking a lot more than their license. Win or lose, pretty good chance their lives are never going to be the same after this. People's identities do often come out in stories like this, and death threats typically follow.

And to be real, do you actually think "paid escorts" would go through the court system where their professions would be a point of evidence? Back channel contacts threatening to go public if they didn't get paid, maybe. The court system? A lot less likely.

I'd add too that knee jerk reactions like "just a bunch of sluts trying to get paid" are pretty embarrassing. Watson may or may not be guilty, but we should all at least be mature enough to see what happens.

I mean I don't really want to believe this either - but the more this unfolds, the worse it looks.

Seriously

[Icege]

7 lawsuits filed.

Can we stop attacking potential victims of sexual misconduct now just because we really want the defendant to play for a sports team that we like?
