There were no arrests or physical altercations because Watson took the high road
Of course this is no reason to gripe about the team. It's gripping about a 32 year old man acting like he's still a child in school.
1. Clemson just beat Alabama in the championship. Regardless of whether you consider them "rivals", I'm sure they aren't fond of each other right now. Point stands.
2. Speculation. Neither of us were there, and you don't know how Wallace would've reacted if Watson would've stayed. Does he have a long history of violence?
3. Wallace is employed by the Bengals, so of course it's about the team. He represents the Bengals with all off field actions. Fortunately, this isn't a big deal though. For a team that unapologetically employs and defends a player like Pacman Jones, and looks at players like Joe Mixon, Wallace Gilberry asking some dude to leave a bar seems like it should rank around 534th on a list of "worst transgressions" by Bengals players over the last decade+.
Let's be real...if the guy they asked to leave was you or I instead of a star college QB and top prospect, we wouldn't even know about this. Was it dooshy? You bet. A lot of professional athletes are dooshy off the field. Wake me when they arrest Gilberry.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
