Per Adam Schefter, “In speaking to some teams, I don’t think this is going to deter anyone’s interest in trading for Deshaun Watson”

Legally, that would be illegal if they filed a complaint with the police for a criminal matter. In a civil case, the need for evidence is not a requirement for a decision. 
What seems likely to me(speculating) the women, or the initial woman made a complaint to the team and it was swept aside because of a lack of evidence. When Deshaun stood firm with his desire to leave the Texans, then that complaint was passed to a lawyer(unethical) who took the matter as a personal vendetta to alter the desire of other teams to acquire the player through means of a trade. It also will have an impact on his bank account, regardless of the impact how minimal it may be.

And if all they got are those texts then alleging Watson is guilty is wrong. Thanks for proving my point

If this was criminal I would be more likely to believe the women.  Civil case screams cash grab

If it turns out to be criminal, then my stance will take a complete 180 degree turn.

Da faq you talking about?  I am saying let it play out and see, however I seriously doubt, as you allege, that someone is paying 9 women to do this.  All I am asking is for one example which you cannot provide.  So yeah.......

 

If this stuff happens all the time as you guys are saying then surely there has to be an example of it happening.

omg...there's hundreds if not thousands of cases where plaintiffs in sexual harassment/ misconduct cases have been counter sued for defamation of character.

the lady who began began the "# me too" movement in France by the name of Sandra Muller lost a civil suit filed by her accused perpetrator & was ordered to pay monetary damages for defamation of character

Johnny depps former wife.

almost ruined his career until everything unraveled and it was shown she made all the abuse charges up. It does happen. But that does not mean these allegations should not be taken seriously. This dumb ass lawyer is muddying the waters even further with his bullshit tho.

[LinvilleGorge]

See how the conversation on here has been speculation, whataboutism, innuendo, hurled insults, and semantics? Yeah, that's how these legal actions will proceed. Don't expect any ultimate clarity on this.

I remember Will Smith and Jerome Bettis both being victims of shakedowns then ultimately being cleared

I am not saying that.  What you are saying is different.  I am saying how often does a 3rd party pay a woman to make up fictitious allegations.  It may happen but it certainly is not commonplace. 

 

But all in all this is not going to be resolved in a month I doubt so I still think watson is not coming here

If The Panthers were able to afford the risk, then they could do it with a significant reduction in the total proposal to the Texans. It is a high risk and high reward depending on the outcome of the case(s). The question is how much risk are they willing to accept.
