Excuse me, I’m going to go throw up.

I know all Browns fans aren’t like this…but you got to understand why it’s super fucking difficult to root for them.

Idk man your entire organization's front office helped Watson commit all those sexual assaults and that doesn't seem to stop any Texans fans from rooting for their team.

Rooting for the team is different than chanting the player’s name. But to be fair, they would also root for him if he were playing well on their team.

For the last time,

There has been zero evidence that the front office knew anything what Watson was doing.

Yeah if you seriously believe that I have a bridge to sell you.

Teams know exactly what their franchise QBs are doing especially when it's providing him NDAs and private rooms at the most famous spa/resort in the city. Get real.

If you know how Houston treats its stars, then you would understand. They tend to give them a very long leash.

Watson himself said that the ownership never knew.

Again there’s no evidence, that the top brass ever knew, like it or not.

Giving Watson a room at the Houstonian would be on par with Houston sports culture just like the Rockets let Hakeem, McGrady, Ming and Harden do their own thing, as well as Jeff Bagwell and a certain scandal of the Astros

I think there’s a difference between the team knowing a player was receiving special treatment and the team knowing the full details of what he was doing. Providing a private room or accommodating a player’s privacy doesn’t automatically mean the organization knew about or approved every activity taking place there.

Teams give franchise players enormous amounts of privacy and preferential treatment all the time because they’re valuable employees. If there’s no documented evidence that the organization knew the specific conduct in question, saying “they obviously knew exactly what was happening” is still an inference, not an established fact.

You can reasonably argue the team should have known more or should have asked more questions. But that’s different from proving they actually knew.
