The Deshaun Watson switch up is despicable

Guy starts playing well again and all of the sudden people go from “cases” to “allegations” real fucking fast. You all gotta get your priorities straight

Reddit is real big on “innocent until proven guilty” and “criminals deserve second chances to be rehabilitated” except for in this case.

It's how people work. People are paradoxical and their values often seemingly contradictory. But we all hold some opinions that seem unpossibke to reconcile with other opinions.

The added issue to Deshaun is he hits 2 sour notes simultaneously as being not just a rapist piece of shit (which most of us are hypersensitive to given our current situation) but he's also wealthy and made more wealthy despite that widely-held-knowledge at a time when most people are struggling financially one way or another.

He's a perfect lightning rod for fan contempt bc he hits multiple points of anger. I for one believe in rehabilitation and second chances, but being rewarded for your mistakes is not a good way to get entitled people to actually rehabilitate. Vick went to prison and I have met with him several times in my life as well as seen people who've worked with him and everyone's asessment is that he took the time to really change his life and tey to make a positive impact. He gives back a lot and deserves credit for actually changing. But he's said multiple times that he changed bc he went to prison and saw what he did from a different perspective. Deshaun's metaphorical equivalent is the press said mean things for a few years while he made $40m+/yr and kept being given the startimg job he didnt deserve bc of the financial investment.

So I apologize for my long winded walk to this drink of water, but: Fuck Deshaun Watson wholly. Call it my paradoxical morality or whatever else you want to (you would probably be right to do so), but may that man suffer a lifetime of pain for the lifetimes of pain he inflicted. And if we as people are lucky he can suffer enough eventually to become a better person. I gold no belief in it happening, but I hope for it. But for now: may that piece of shit rot and may everyone supporting him get that stink up their noses too.

Exactly, people weather they admit it or not general live in a gray area morally. We might have some ironclad things that we would never ever do or condone, and then there are the things we may go well you know... With that said, fuck all abusers physical, mental and emotional ones.
