I’m in enemy territory here as a colts fan, but I’ve always been a big Deshaun Watson fan as well. I’m curious how the Texans’ fans feel about the current situation and whether you feel he should be playing?

I feel pretty strongly about the innocent until proven guilty standard, especially as an attorney who has seen what legitimately false accusations can do to ruin an individual's life. I also understand the league has an image to protect. I may be in the minority here, but I believe that mere allegations of misconduct which have absolutely zero effect on the sport itself should not be grounds to end someone's career. In any other career field it certainly shouldn't either – if Watson was a plumber, engineer, accountant, etc. he shouldn't be exhiled from society when there is nothing but allegations of bad acts that wouldn't affect his competency in his field. As fans of the Texans, do you feel he deserves to be playing until if/when results of the ongoing lawsuits result in a finding or admission of guilt?

I also know his request to be traded plays a part, but for the sake of the question let's assume that he would be ready and willing to play if allowed.

Also just saw that Rule #1 is f**k the colts, so hopefully this is allowed.
