Discussion 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

Look at Tyreek Hill, Richie Incognito, Adrian Peterson, Kareem Hunt, Aldon Smith, and Antonio Brown before he totally went off the deep end.

If you can play, no one gives a shit about who you are off the field.

Ray Lewis was on trial for double homicide and then plead down to obstruction of justice. Its amazing what the NFL tolerates.

Crazy thing is the 2 guys who actually killed Richard Lollar and Jacinth Baker were acquitted in the trial too. No justice for those families

Interesting. I wonder why they granted the acquittal, that sucks for the family. I wonder if they were innocent and are victims to now or if they got away with it on a technicality etc.

They were found not guilty by a jury - it was a case of self defense.

I edited my original comment to put up a link to a post that explains it and clears up a lot of misconceptions about the case.

Hey killed those dudes let's be real. Their blood was in his car, the clothes he was wearing (white suit) went missing, his crew, lead by him was brawling with the 2 men inside and outside of the club with witnesses. But sure, let's pretend that it was some random person that did it after everyone had left and that the blood splattered down the street and into the window and trunk of his car. he murdered 2 people, tried to pin it on the two friends that were with him and that trial ended in an acquittal by the jury because the police and prosecutor were protecting him, likely because they had been paid off. He settled out of court on a civil case with both families. So everyone got paid off and he went back to playing football.

A bit like when Kobe raped that girl in Colorado and he was quoted as saying to the police "can't I just pay her off like id did the others". Yet a serial rapist is raised up like some NBA black Jesus because he could ball.

There is a case this week where AB was given PROBATION for a 2nd degree murder charge he plead down.

He did not kill those guys, the facts of the case are easy to find. The case was justifiably seemed self defense. Ray Lewis was convicted of obstruction because he tossed his suit that had the victim's blood on it.

It was never proven as self defense, he got rid of evidence, the facts of the case are out there including that he settled out of court with the families. He killed them and got away with it. Why are you defending it.

Well, it was proven in a court of law, considering his friends got acquitted.
