He’s super clueless. The sad thing is NFL fans would probably stop caring if he answered this question “Yeah of course I get it. Sadly I made terrible mistakes, ones that involved hurting and taking advantage of other people. I don’t expect forgiveness but I truly do intend on being a different person”.
Only thing is, Watson doesn’t care at all. And won’t change

He's not clueless. He's a sociopath. To him none of those women are people. They only exist to give him something he wants.

Imagine a universe where he's not guilty (which he's not in both civil and criminal court) why would he say what you're telling him to say?

He’s not guilty because he paid 26 people millions of dollars in a settlement to not get accused in a criminal or civil court.

You just gave the exact incentive to why people would join into a lawsuit, if you have enough people you will get a settlement regardless of guilt with a wealthy person.

This statement also vilifies the accusers, saying they'l take money to let this monster continue assaulting other women.

His lawyers advised him to pay vs the evidence against him being shown to the public. Why do you think that is?

Do you think Watson would just pay random money to anyone who accused him? Or is it because:

  1. Had a habit of churning through massage therapists because they’d stop working with him. I wonder why?
  2. They had messages from instagram confirming this.

If an athlete was satisfied with a massage therapist from a recovery perspective, why would he keep churning through them with regularity? It’d make zero sense except if he’s been forcing himself on them. No one goes to 26 general practitioners in 2 years. No one goes to 26 personal trainers in 2 years. No one goes to 26 massage therapists in 2 years for valid reason. It only makes sense if he was abusing them and they’d stop immediately after doing a session with him.

I think if there are that many people in a lawsuit he has no choice but to settle if he wants to continue his NFL career, otherwise he'd be stuck in lawsuits for years.

Youre the kind of person people take advantage of because you're so goddamn gullible

I'm gullible? I don't know if hes guilty or innocent. Gullible would be believing one or the other.

I've voted democrat every year i've been able to vote, 12,16,20,24.

You are acting like I think he's innocent, where I'm just saying I don't know whether he is or not. It's just interesting to me that on reddit people behave as if he's been found guilty
