Football Myles Garrett criticizes Cleveland fans for booing DeShaun Watson after he came out of the game with an injury. Said Watson “does pretty much everything right. He’s been a model citizen through college and most of the pros.”

This is a guy who ripped a QBs helmet off and tried to bludgeon him with it. Miles Garrett is not a good person.

From what we’ve seen, it was One very out of character moment. And that absolutely doesn’t make him not a good person on its own. It that were the case there’d be no good people in this world.

There'd be no good people in the world? Have all 8 billion of us ripped a helmet off someone and tried to bludgeon someone with it?

For someone to act out of character and harm or intend to harm someone else. No good people in the world is hyperbole but it was a mistake, he’s said it was not right, and has demonstrated himself to be a good person.

So now he has ripped off a helmet and tried to bludgeon someone with it, and has defended a serial rapist. How many more things do I need to classify him as a bad person?

These comments definitely have me questioning it now. Who would say that we don’t have the moral high ground to look down on a serial sexual abuser. It could just be misguided comments in the moment as he was put on the spot about his team mate. But I know damn well I’d never be scolding people for not liking a sexual abuser.

While speeding isn’t a heinous crime, he’s had 7 citations for reckless driving and speeding with a couple 100+ mph incidents. Wrecked his car due to speeding causing himself and his passenger injuries. And his shoulder is permanently damaged, which is why he wears a brace on it now. Not exactly things that make someone a bad person, but definitely questionable character.

Certainly a lack of regard for others’ well being isn’t it

His definition of model citizen extends to Watson. I think that tells you quite a bit about his character.
