Winston goes off on Cleveland fans who cheered injury

[*pally*]

The Browns crowd cheering at Watson injury when he blew out his achilles.  Jamais Winston had something to say about that

Yes, poor Watson. Just really a real underdog story to root for against his >30 accuser victims while he cries into his $280m he's guaranteed at minimum to make in his career.

Jameis just being a good teammate, but it's wasted on Watson.

Ordinarily I'd agree that such behavior would be despicable, but...well...I'm just going to stop right there.

People cheer when I fail and I'm broke and not a serial sex offender.

Or he's just sticking up for a fellow QB as a fellow QB who has used his money to escape consequences for possibly doing cruel things to women:

Let's hope the DTR is a better human being than Watson and Winston.

Myles Garrett talking about shame on the Browns fans, said Watson has been a "model citizen" through college and "most of the time" in the pros. Like OJ Simpson was a "model husband" "most of the time". LOL

Said fans don't have any moral high ground on Watson to judge him from. Except they do, because they're not all mass/serial sexual assaulters. Myles Garrett immediately took a nosedive as a person in my view.

These dudes don't live in reality. Their athletic talent often results in special treatment where they don't have to be held accountable for things us plebeians have to worry about. Agreed, a big ole nosedive.

The main point here (in my mind) is that Watson is no longer good at playing football.  We've seen plenty of players with spotty histories get cheered and get respectful send offs when they get injured.  We've seen people buy pink jerseys for their daughters with the names of players who physically or sexually abuse women on them. 

If Watson got the Browns to the AFC Championship game last year and they were 4-2 when his achilles blew up that place would have been quiet and the fans would have been upset and respectful, but he's been the worst move by a franchise famous for worst moves AND he's a total creep, so they weren't.

My ol' man once told me that you can be bad at you job OR you can be a bastard.  You can't be both.
