NFL Fans are all taking to social media to attack King LeBron James for his comments about Deshaun Watson after Watson suffered a brutal injury on the field. Many fans are outraged over LeBron coming to Waston’s defense as he has a long history of awful activity, and many fans have wanted him out of the NFL for years now.
LeBron James Comes To Defense of Deshaun Watson
LeBron did not need to insert himself into the conversation, but he must have felt very intensely about what happened to Deshaun on Sunday. James has been an adopted Cleveland Browns fan after spending so much time in the city, and perhaps that made him chime in on the Watson controversy.
Watson has suffered a torn chilies and will be out for the rest of the season and many fans were booing him while he was leaving the field for this injury as most of the fans have wanted him gone since the beginning of this awful saga. Watson was accused of sexual assault by dozens of women and settled all of those cases out of court, and that may be the reason why fans despise the quarterback.
Watson has been absolutely awful on the field as well so it’s no surprise that he is hated by Browns fans. LeBron however, was not happy with fans booing the quarterback when he was injured though:
Cleveland Fans! Yall know how much we’ve been thru throughout the years both good, bad and indifferent. With that being said booing anyone that’s down with an injury let alone your own player is LAME AF!! To the ones who didn’t 🫡

“Cleveland Fans! Yall know how much we’ve been thru throughout the years both good, bad and indifferent. With that being said booing anyone that’s down with an injury let alone your own player is LAME AF!! To the ones who didn’t,” he wrote.
While it is not good to boo ap layer when they get injured, Watson is a bit of an exception to the rule, as he has not done anything on the field and off to be respected at all. When you are a serial sexual predator, to over 20 women and probably more, you should not be in the NFL at all.
NFL Fans Outraged Over LeBron James Sticking Up for Watson
Many NFL fans took to social media to attack LeBron for his comments, and while James is trying to say something good, this is not the time for that. Watson should not be in the NFL firstly because his actions should put him in Prison, and secondly because he is an awful player.
Fans ripped James for his stupid comments:
“i think it’s okay to boo a serial sexual predator,” one fan wrote.
“We might be lame, but at least we ain’t down with predators,” one fan wrote.
“The King defending a 24x sexual predator will surely go over well,” one fan added.
“In terms of misses, this is up there with your silence on Jayland Walker and your shilling of crypto. Hard times,” another fan wrote.
“I think it’s okay to boo a sexual predator,” one person wrote.
“I can’t figure out why so many athletes befriend and stand up for men that are predators, abusers, and blatant criminals that have endangered others lives,” a second commenter added.
“Booing him is lame. Chase him out of your town with torches and pitchforks,” said a third person.
“Deshaun Watson didn’t die. He suffered a highly treatable injury that, outside of his ability to play football, will not impact his life,” a fourth person said, in part. “You can’t expect people to feel sorry for a generationally wealthy sexual deviant having his bag interrupted. His injury won’t last forever but what he did to dozens of women definitely will.”
“My glorious king they’re calling you LeEnabler I need you to delete this,” a fifth commenter chimed in.
It is understandable what LeBron was trying to say, but Watson does not deserve any feelings from fans of sympathy. He should be out of the league and out of any type of news and for fans to boo him makes perfect sense. As many fans said, it is perfectly ok to boo a sexual predator, and the fact that he is even in the league highlights much worse aspects of the state of football.
For LeBron to try and come to Watson’s defense is truly one of his most idiotic moves in recent memory.
