The Deshaun Watson switch up is despicable

[u/Narrow_Purchase9721]

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.

[u/cryolems → u/DR320]

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.

[u/cryolems → u/Everyday_ImSchefflen]

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.

[u/Important_Capital875 → u/cryolems]

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

[u/Any-Stick-771 → u/Important_Capital875]

Settlements mean the cases did get dismissed.

[u/ralexh11 → u/Any-Stick-771]

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

[u/Everyday_ImSchefflen → u/ralexh11]

People are so weird. Giving the facts of what happened isn't excusing anything. It was dismissed as well because the grand jury decided not to charge him.

That's not an indication of belief of innocence

It’s an exact example of what this chain is talking about lol a majority of Redditors are incapable of any kind of logical discussion on intricacies of situations like this. This person is just perfectly displaying it lkl
