We don’t know how this is going to play out yet, but I think Tiger Woods after the 2008 incident is probably the best sports analogy. Woods wasn't charged with or accused of assault.

He just got truckloads of poontang I know, the situations weren't comparable from that standpoint, but after that incident, Woods clearly lost the huge psychological advantage he had over the rest of the PGA. His aura of invulnerability was shattered, gone for good. I think the same will be true of Watson, even though he clearly isn't the dominant figure Woods was in his sport. 1

He just got truckloads of poontang Agreed with WEO here. It is a tough comparable because Watson was a rising star, but he was on some bad teams and hadn't proved staying power yet. Tiger was different, but Tiger has had some other issues that effected his game. Not winning major, after major, after major, is what dulled Tiger's star, not cheating on his wife with the waitress at Denny's. Big Ben is a tough one, I mean they both assault women. But Ben also won some super bowls with a really stable franchise who could absorb that. Houston can't manage this. I do agree, because he plays the most important position in the league, he will probably see the field again unfortunately. Houston would be one of the few teams though, who would keep Watson around just to spite him. If they do release him (for whatever reason, I don't think they trade him), it feels like Bob Kraft is the perfect partner in crime for DW. 2 1

Not only that, but Big Ben's ***** happened in a completely different political and social environment with regard to how this type of stuff plays out in the public eye. Ray Rice was the catalyst for major changes in how the NFL and the public dealt with this type of stuff from players.

I wouldn't be shocked if he had all these women ready to file and come out day one but saw a better opportunity to slow roll everything and just make it seemingly worst with every passing day and week. 3

I wouldn't be shocked if he had all these women ready to file and come out day one but saw a better opportunity to slow roll everything and just make it seemingly worst with every passing day and week. I actually think he used the first filing to recruit the others - he asked in his Instagram (or wherever it was) for other women to come talk to him.

Because he's a Millennial apparently. 2
