Watson’s Apology, Passing Falter; Jacksonville Fans Boo ‘Sick F—k’

Deshaun Watson, a reputed massage therapist abuser, was unable to offer a weak apology Friday and performed poorly. It was a huge, massive way. 

During a pregame interview in Jacksonville Friday, the Cleveland Browns notorious new quarterback gave an apology that fell far short of taking responsibility for his pathetic behavior. He’s been accused by 30 message therapists of engaging in sexual misconduct with them, was allowed to play in an exhibition game at Jacksonville and will serve a suspension of six games or more. Here’s the pull-out quote from his interview with ESPN’s Aditi Kinkhabwala: 

“Look, I want to say that I’m truly sorry to all of the women that I have impacted in this situation. The decisions that I made in my life that put me in this position I would definitely like to have back, but I want to continue to move forward and grow and learn and show that I am a true person of character and I am going to keep pushing forward.” 

If you noticed this statement was short on the details of his aberrant behavior, you weren’t the only one.  

On ESPN’s First Take TV program before the game, Emily Kaplan blasted the Browns and their $230 million quarterback.: 

“I feel like the Browns are living in denial because they’re living in their own world right now because of this contract that they gave him with all these millions of dollars of guarantees because they live in this bubble in Ohio where Deshaun Watson gets on the field at training camp, the fans are cheering for him and asking him for autographs.” 

It was then that he got to Jacksonville. Watson may regret admitting that before the game, he was thrilled to return on the playing fields. It was horrible. He completed only one of five attempts to pass for seven yards. The treatment he got from Jaguars’ fans was even more brutal than his performance. 

Watson was booed by Jacksonville fans. They cheered his incomplete passes and chanted, “No means no.” That was the tame stuff. 

Jags’ fans also chanted, “You sick f—k!, you sick f—k!” 

Watson was recently suspended for six games by Sue Robinson, a retired judge. Watson said he deserves an 8-game suspension, but the NFL is seeking a suspension that would sideline him for the entire 2022 season.
