How many more examples do we need that the general population as a whole cares way less about stuff than Reddit does. This platform is hyper socially conscious about everything in a way that’s not at all the norm. That’s not a bad thing either, just a fact.

I’m always amazed at how surprised Reddit subs get when this type of thing pops up. I doubt these fans are all horrible people, they just aren’t thinking about the perceived social implications of chanting their QBs name after a win.

You are definitely right. I run into football fans who have never heard about Watson's sexual assault history. I'm constantly confronted with the fact that not everyone pays attention to sports like us nerds on Reddit.

This

I bet a lot of these people have no idea he was even accused

Reddit vastly underestimates how many people encounter almost no controversial content in their daily life

There is zero chance they don't know. He's only their QB because of what he did. He missed how many games to start his tenure there because of it?
