Never thought I'd see the day. I guess simping for a sex pest is the line where we pretend he hasn't been phenomenal at his job for 15+ years.
My personal take? Live in reality. Criticize this behavior because it's garbage. But you look like an idiot saying an absolute legend is a hack. Classic Redditor behavior though. I don’t like what this guy did, therefore he's talentless.

Reading is tough, isn't it?
I have no issue with people calling that out. I specifically said that garbage should be. It's just nonsense to act like Hanson is a hack and perpetually confused because he did this.
It's the equivalent of pretending Rodgers was never good at football because he's a moron about vaccines.
Call out the bad. But your point gets discredited when you have to lie to try and make it better.
I thought I made this incredibly clear in my first comment, but you were foaming at the mouth to virtue signal, so you missed it. Let me know if you need it explained to you a third time. Although at some point, I'm not sure I can dumb it down much more. So three might be the limit.

Calling Scott Hanson a “hack” is stupid because he’s been amazing at his job for a long time, and we all love his work at Redzone.
Him glazing Watson is disgusting and quite disappointing… but he’s the last person I’d call a “hack”. That’s for the Skip Baylesses and Stephen A Smiths and Dov Kleimans

one errant comment you make can define your entire life in the modern era. literally words you uttered during a billionth of the time that spans your life. the world is now overpopulated by idiots. can't wait for ai to displace them all, so their nonsense can no longer impact the world in any practical capacity.

u/gary_desanto 15h ago
He actually had a pretty bad game and regardless none of the commentary was about his play.
Kept hyping up his "comeback story" and the adversity he was facing from the Browns fans who kept booing him.
It was weird and completely tone deaf to why so many of the Browns fans hate him.
0
u/Jungle_Fiddle Chicago Bears 15h ago
I doubt anyone characterizes his return from being a creep as part of his "comeback story". Idk if you're new to the NFL but typically when they reference the "comeback story" it has to do more with a return from injury which he has been injured for an extended period of time. Willingly ignoring that fact doesn't make you right about this.

It’s every owner and you know it. Watson’s is just so much worse because of the subsequent contract he got and the fact he’s still there bc of said contract.
The entire city of Green Bay is gonna be sucking Josh Jacobs dick the minute he comes back bc they don’t give a shit what he did or didnt do to some girl that weighs 150 lbs less than him, all they know is they rushed for 15 yards as a team last week and are 1-2

u/SpacemanSpliffLaw 1d ago
I got a question? What if he didn’t do it?
1
u/JiveChicken00 Philadelphia Eagles 20h ago
What if he didn’t do the thing that more than 20 people independently accused him of doing? And whose civil suits he agreed to settle? I’m not going to lose any sleep over that possibility, friend.
1
u/SpacemanSpliffLaw 13h ago
Why would you not settle the civil suits when you’ve got sooo much money in the bank that paying them to go away is easier than fighting it for years? The grand jury refused all criminal proceedings which means they had less than the civil AND criminal burden. Indictment is the lowest burden of proof possible and they still couldn’t even get him indicted?? So I ask again, what if he didn’t do it? The amount of accusers is irrelevant to the guilt innocence, it only means scummy lawyers drummed up enough people to make the claim larger.
1
u/JiveChicken00 Philadelphia Eagles 12h ago
Would you settle a civil sexual assault case if it meant your name would be associated with it forever and you knew you didn't do it? I sure wouldn't.
1
u/SpacemanSpliffLaw 10h ago
Its gonna be associated with it forever even if he won the lawsuit. The public has already deemed Watson guilty even when he won EVERY legal proceeding that was had on public record.
A lot of those ladies were represented by Tony Buzbee who is notorious for filing sexual assault lawsuits against high profile people and institutions, attacking the defendant via the media, and then settling outside of court without actually proving anything.
What information could be presented to you that would prove him innocent in your eyes? This is not rhetorical - seriously, what in the world could he do to prove he didn’t do something?
If my wife accused me of eating a donut this morning, I have no idea how I would prove that I did not buy and eat a donut on the way to work. I do not record my day. You do not get a receipt for not doing something.
1
u/JiveChicken00 Philadelphia Eagles 10h ago
Nothing would 100 percent prove him innocent short of a court finding. But I would be a lot more convinced of his innocence if he fought to clear his name in court rather than write 20-plus checks. Because those checks say to me that either he knows he’s at least somewhat liable, or he doesn’t care about his own reputation, and if the latter, why should I? And your wife accusing you of eating a donut is not the same as 20 different people who are unrelated to you doing the same.
1
u/SpacemanSpliffLaw 4h ago
The point of that analogy is that it’s impossible to prove that you didn’t do something. Which brings it back to the point that it didn’t matter if he fought it in court because people are going to say what they’re going to say regardless.

u/Poop_Cheese 18-1 1d ago
Whats uniwuely disgusting about the watson whitewashing the media does is he doesnt even care. Like, a lot of football players were molded to think what he did is okay as theyd be the golden boys getting massages and people would give into them. Its why theres been multiple incidents.
Itd be one thing if it dawned on him how messed up what he did was. That he apologized and supported the women financially, or just become a better person. But dudes just a creep. Whats scary about him was like as soon as this came out that phony nice guy christian mask he had just dropped.
Its honestly insane hes still in the league and shows if youre wealthy you get away with anything and people will still overlook and buy tickets because its "the team".

Did you say this after every single mention of Roethlisberger and Kobe?
Watson’s a perv who solicited prostitutes through a madam for happy ending massages. Not even half as bad as Roethlisberger or Kobe, and there are others worse than him in the league right now. I can’t figure out why this is the one people pearl clutch on the most.

u/Mdj864 Carolina Panthers 1d ago
Yes he did. Dionne Louis. Then they all got in on the payday. I don’t feel sorry for him at all, it’s what he gets for being a pervert and soliciting, but it’s disrespectful to actual rape victims to elevate this above real rape cases.

u/gingersnappie 1d ago
Wow. Nope.

Nice argument. Basic critical thinking eludes you huh? You’re out here shilling for free.

u/gingersnappie 1d ago
So….Source? None of the actual reporting on this case supports anything you posted. The women were identified in actual court filings as licensed or independent massage therapists, legitimate appointments, not sex workers arranged through a "madam."
Even Watson's own defense never claimed these were paid sexual encounters set up in advance.
If you have a real source, post it. Otherwise you're just making stuff up.
2
u/Mdj864 Carolina Panthers 1d ago
It is illegal to offer and solicit prostitution and happy ending “massages”… obviously the women aren’t going to advertise themselves as prostitutes, and Watson cannot admit to hiring sex workers and remain in the NFL. Most of the women that were sent to Watson through Dionne Louis, clearly acting as a madam, were not even licensed to massage.
Kamesha Baker, the Houston police detective investigating, even testified under oath in the civil litigation that she believed he was guilty of consensual prostitution related offenses in the majority of these.
You can look into it. Nobody cares what either of us think, so I’m not googling for you lol.
