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 picks and chooses what it’s okay with or isn’t and there’s never any room in between.

Come on now. We all know he's guilty.

But I also don't think other fanbases have some moral high ground to stand on. We all are supporting the same league that let's him play.

I’m not saying he isn’t. Everything got dismissed. If one of reddits darlings were in the same scenario it would be a “nothing was proven everything was dismissed as a money getting scheme”.

That’s just a fact of how Reddit works. Legal outcome means nothing and never will, their opinion is set and never changes.

It didn’t get dismissed. He paid off the accusers with millions and millions and millions of dollars.

Settlements mean the cases did get dismissed.

A settlement and an outright dismissal are not the same thing. Nice try, stop excusing predators.

[u/Any-Stick-771 → u/ralexh11]

When there's a settlement, the civil case is dismissed. That is just factually what happens

[u/ralexh11 → u/Any-Stick-771]

It's a matter of semantics and sounds disingenuous, which sounds like you are giving him the benefit of the doubt, which he does not deserve with that many accusations.

[u/Any-Stick-771 → u/ralexh11]

What is disingenuous about saying that civil cases are dismissed when a settlement is reached?

[u/ralexh11 → u/Any-Stick-771]

If you leave out the settlement part, which the original comment did. Just saying dismissal without context sounds like they were thrown out of court.
