Same info as tweets: https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-news-deshaun-watson-accusers-call-out-league-investigation/ Quote “My forensic interview [with HPD] was very respectful and trauma-informed,” Baxley says. “They let me speak uninterrupted, whereas with Lisa Friel and the [other NFL investigator], they would cut me off, they would question things, they would circle back.” Baxley believes that they were “trying to trip me up. They didn’t, but they were really looking for the weaknesses that they thought they could exploit.” Edited August 13, 2021 by Limeaid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you think Houston is trying to humble him for speaking out last year? Maybe it’s both? Edited August 17, 2021 by JohnNord 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you think Houston is trying to humble him for speaking out last year? Maybe it’s both? Probably a bit of both. They can’t really give him meaningful reps in camp knowing that the prospects of him being able to play are getting bleaker by the day. I’d assume Houston is completely resigned to being absolutely horrible this season, but they still have to make some sort of effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could be telling the truth AND trying to get money. I wouldn't begrudge a person who wants to get paid for their trauma. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, personally, hope he faces criminal charges and jail time if these accusations are true. We know what would happen to the average person if they were guilty of these same accusations. What I am saying though is some may have hopped on just because they see it as an opportunity and only for that opportunity, not because they are necessarily looking for any form of justice for those with legitimate claims. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does suspending him do that the Texans are not doing themselves? And that is their problem. Let's say there is no criminal charge. If it is only civil then he will play in the league again and the NFL don't want to suspend him for a season he intended to sit out. It isn't an easy situation for the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does suspending him do that the Texans are not doing themselves? They can do a number of things: First, and foremost, is that they should place him on the commissioners exempt list. Essentially, this would remove him from the Texans 53 and make him ineligible to play (while still being paid). The NFL has an extensive history (Vick, Hardy, Hunt, etc) of using this process while legal proceedings are underway. It puts the onus on the league, instead of the team, to step in and handle the situation. Second, they could suspend him temporarily or indefinitely. There does not need to be a civil/criminal charge or a conviction to do so. So to answer your question, it would remove him from the team facilities and dock his pay. The NFL’s inaction while the legal proceeding play out, although the norm lately in many player situations, is a cop out. In my opinion, they are taking the easy road out, hiding behind due process instead of taking a stand against some obvious injustices. The league claims to champion social issues, promotes equality and wants to appear to be a progressive voice in our country, yet when faced with the chance to take a stand, does nothing.
