In addition to stating that the case is being looked into, the NFL has mostly been quiet about sexual harassment and assault charges against Countryside Watson.
The league’s executive vice president of football operations, Troy Vincent, changed it on Saturday. He Went on Fox Sports Radio And addressed 22 civil claims against the star quarterback of the Texas.
Vincent said, “I’m just praying for the young man, personally, today.” “I am praying for him and his family. I am praying for the young women who have come out. This is not good for anyone, forget the game.
“But I think we have learned that every situation is different. They are fragile. You make sure that people, whether prosecutors, victims, whoever they may be, have a fair process in place. And I think we have learned over time, it is not that we have run into the past, but I think we have learned from the different cases that we have seen with this particular subject matter, which is reasonable. Takes care of the process themselves, so it’s up to Lisa [Friel, NFL special counsel for investigations] And his team now makes appropriate recommendations as to which direction the commissioner and the commissioner’s office should take. “
It remains uncertain how the NFL will proceed, as the cases play themselves and it is determined whether a criminal case will be pursued. Watson has remained steady in his innocence. Vincent did not say if matters were not settled, Watson would be placed on the commissioner’s exemption list, either by a settlement or decision, until the training camp began.
