Even at practice? Isn’t that where he is?
Yeah, I don't think people wear game jerseys ever, unless they are making a public appearance on behalf of the team or are playing in a game.
I was laughing because I saw a Def Leppard video the other day where the front man was wearing their own band shirt.
WTF are you talking about?
He was on a team. He didn't play. He wasn't a free agent last year or even this offseason. He got traded and signed an extension. You can call it whatever you want, but he has 17 games as time served already and you won't see any soap box people on TV mention this. I would have given him a year suspension this year, but I also admit that IDK what is just and I'm not going to bury the fact that he missed 17 games already.
That’s absolutely hilarious since he got paid for every single dime of last year AND the only reason Houston held him out was to tank and make sure he didn’t get hurt.
He still didn't play tho. The only reason he got paid was to protect the investment, like you said. But I assume he wants to play, get accolades, chase records, possibly earn performance incentives, and move past this. I'm just saying that missing 17 games is a significant enough punishment to be mentioned with the 6-game suspension going forward. This is one of the biggest punishments we've ever seen. 23 missed games, 6 without pay.
Hadn’t he already refused to play for the Texans and demanded a trade before the allegations surfaced?
Reports on HIS end last offseason.If he did refuse to play, it sounds like it must have happened after the NFL ruled him out of the 1st game and the Texans declared they would not play him that season.

He did not get punished. He got to rest his body, not take hits, he got paid every cent. Got to use team facilities. Not only that, the decision to withhold him HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE LAWSUITS. If the Texans had the Colts or Titans roster, he would have played every game. Houston wanted to tank, Watson didn’t want to play for a ****** team/wanted to traded and he got the full benefits of an NFL player while being held out. Don’t be obtuse.
