There is plenty - plenty - of He done signed a contract an he gown honor by gum sentiment out there. And Go head awn an let him sit out, this ain't the NBA.

I'll never really understand why necks who don't even have a full spool of bob wire to their names will side with billionaire owners over millionaire players. And before anyone suggests the obvious, they do it with white players, too. It's a real puzzler.
I saw a watson trade thread on there with 3000 replies and in the first 100 or so all I saw was either don't trade him or amateur draftniks drooling over picks. I have no idea what's on Twitter, but I assume nothing good since it's the worst of humanity.

But I think the huge majority of Houston is firmly in Watson's camp. I would guess the Texans permanently lose a whole lot of fans if they trade him. I don't think he has any need of a PR man whether he stays or goes. I fully agree with you it's dumb that people call players greedy when a player and owner argue over money. I think it's easier for most people to be jealous of players than owners. Most people have met great athletes (even if it was just in HS). I have a feeling if most people met the super rich they would quickly switch sides.
