Tuesday’s press conference caused many to view the ongoing controversy involving Deshaun Watson differently. Among the many now viewing the situation differently, apparently, is Nike.
Via CNBC.com, the sports apparel giant has suspended its endorsement deal with Watson.
“We are deeply concerned by the disturbing allegations and have suspended Deshaun Watson. We will continue to closely monitor the situation,” Nike said in a statement.
The move comes a day after two of Watson’s 22 accusers in civil court have revealed their names. One of them, Ashley Solis, appeared and spoke at Tuesday’s press conference.

an allegation of sexual assault by a minority female trumps an oppressed minority male 3-2.
“trumps a RICH oppressed minority male”
Did they announce the Cuomo sneaker yet?
Almost like poker where a full house beats three of a kind...we have to do a chart for wokests where what specialty group ranks where...except Red China which is essentially like having a Royal Flush when anyone criticizes them
He’s up to 22 accusers now?
Last I heard (and I’m not following it closely) - it was 12.
Are we taking bets on when it hits 40?
They better get their lawsuits in early. I don’t think deshaun will have much money left over.
If he was a white athlete they would have canceled the contract- with fanfare!
They didn’t do that with Tiger Woods. That must be racist.
Just sprinkle some blood on the shoes. Makes it okay.
I’m confused, NIKE markets their products to the dregs of society, the criminal class and the morally bankrupt and stupid class, why would they care about this??
Always knew the guy was a bum even though the Media just kept trying to turn him in to Superman. Not surprised at this at all.
No MENSA membership for Watson any time soon.
This NITWIT thought he had a system where he could get “massages” from women without dirtying his hands with prostitutes.
The question is WHY these woman didn’t back out of these “engagements” sooner.
In the end it is just another reason to find something to do before watching NFL football.
I can’t wait for someone to say this is racist of NIKE and everyone should boycott NIKE for being so racist.
What are they whining about? Watson simply employed the Nike motto “Just Do It”. BTW, I didn’t see the words “without pay” in that suspension announcement. If the checks continue, that suspension is toothless.
BTW, anyone going to suspend Nike for their use of slave labor camps in Asia to make those expensive shoes and clothes? No?

Pretty stupid when there are likely many thousands of women in Houston who would have sex with him for free.
Not saying he is guilty/liable for these “incidents”. The best part of this case is that it matches up the best personal injury attorney in Texas, Tony Buzbee against Rusty Hardin, probably the best criminal defense attorney in Texas; maybe even the country.
Some of these women might get a judgment against Watson, but getting a guilty verdict is going to be pretty much impossible. Rusty Hardin is that good.
more like 22-1
Guess it’s wrong to snicker at sports products when their spokesperson usually ends up behind bars.
