    I think the worst part about all this is that Watson expected sexual favors from these ladies and never even bought them a fancy like dinner at Applebees.

    we can agree to disagree. It is NOT a workplace issue. An employer is liable for its workplace for its employees. Unless the masseuses contracted with the Texans they aren't liable. That's why there's only ONE cases that is claiming this.

    Buzbee advised clients to settle because it's guaranteed money. You don't settle if you are certain of your case.

    And I don't care about Watson. I care about due process. It is THE LAW that I care about, and keeping it front and center when witch hunt/ lynch mob hyper-judgemental come after individual's livelihood.

    There's only been one case filed so far, but the total number of cases that will be filed hasn't been determined. The Texans participation in Watson's activities can be interpreted as enabling his behavior, by supplying NDAs and hotel accommodations.

    I don't know what the final outcome of this will be, but it's now apparent that Watson's employer was aware of the situation. Rather than discourage Watson, the Texans chose to use company assets to support his behavior. That most certainly makes the Texans liable, and I'm sure we'll hear a lot more about it before this is done.

    Supplying an NDA does NOT make them liable or complicit. with the activities tgat occurred.

    there has to be a contract between Texans and masseuses. There’s an outside chance buzbee argues “implied contract”. But unlikely to win. The Texans play is to settle to keep the PR down and the story to go away. It’s a money grab.

    It always has been a money grab. To my knowledge, none of these happy enders went straight to the police and filed a grievance. I may be wrong about that, but I haven't heard it, Watson being a perv aside.

    I agree its a money grab but I also think a reasonable jury could be convienced that the cows are partially liable... to what extent - I dont know

    I also dont know if that is a thing in this situation, but if so cows would be grabbing their checkbook if I was on jury

    I know my BHG pretty well, that one doesn’t ring any bells.
    Although it is a known fact, lap dances are always better when the stripper is crying.

    I thought of Talladega nights, the will Ferrell racing movie.

    The Texans can be liable even without a contract between them and the masseuses.
