Breaking: After claiming he was innocent and would never pay out settlements, Deshaun Watson has settled with 20 of 26 women currently suing him for sexual assault.

The original plaintiff, Ashley Solis, is one of the women who has refused today's settlement offer.

anyone saying they'll never settle, on either side, is always full of shit.

even with this ashley solis it's about the dollar amount, 'cause even if she wins she only receives money anyway. it's a civil lawsuit. she'll either settle for money or win for more money. there's no other outcome for her

Lmfao, this dude is serious

[Rhyis.]

someone should let geno know that 12/32 of the starting qbs in the nfl atm are of colour

[Mertron]

“we all know what it is”

yeah you suck

[Celeras]

Idk, I read "we all know" and thought "yeah because your teammate broke your fucking jaw". No?

Seemed like the author was making it a racial thing.

Well the author was making it a racial thing cause he name dropped Cam as well, like he wasn't one of the words QB's in the league last year, and was outperformed by some backups.

Or just remind him who the dude he was backing up just last season.

How Geno freaking Smith is still in the NFL with teams voluntarily paying him is beyond me.

Russell Wilson doesn't count, it's long been established he's not black enough.

[archibaldcrane]

For a player who came into the league with a decent amount of hype as a second-round draft pick, that’s not a whole lot of time on the field.

Lol what

(34 starts is above the median for 2nd round picks - below the average of 43 but that's blown up by guys like Favre and Brees and Geno's career isn't over yet)

p terrible in a league that is 70% black tbh

but that problem prolly has a lot more to do with racial stacking at lower levels so a lot of black athletes aren't developed as QBs

this is fair

yeah the best athletes at low levels are turned into rbs' cause rbs are the most important offensive player on the field at low levels. nobody can throw a ball more than 10 feet with any kind of accuracy at that age. meanwhile nobody can tackle at all so the best athlete is unstoppable when he's a rb

white athletes simply don't have the twitch fiber muscles black athletes do, as evidenced by decades of olympic level sprinters, so nobody turns white guys into rbs

there's also almost no black kickers/punters/long snappers in the league too. it's not that black people can't do it, it's just that it doesn't require elite athleticism like every defensive position does. quarterbacking, until mcnabb/vick came around, was thought to the be same thing. so from an early age black guys were groomed to be pass rushers and shit

its been changing a lot the last 5 or so years though for the simple reason of kids wanting to become vick/cam/etc. the next wave of 1st round qbs are all black (young/stroud)
