LeBron James Ripped for Supporting Deshaun Watson Amid Sexual Assault Allegations

Deshaun Watson was traded to the Cleveland Browns, which led to LeBron James showing him a lot of love. With James being a Browns fan, he went to Twitter to show his support from Watson. Fans then began to attack James because of Watson's 22 civil lawsuits of sexual assault and misconduct allegations during massage sessions. 

Once the trade was official, Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam released a statement. "We spent a tremendous amount of time exploring and investigating the opportunity to trade for Deshaun Watson, the Haslams said. "We are acutely aware and empathetic to the highly personal sentiments expressed about this decision. Our team's comprehensive evaluation process was of utmost importance due to the sensitive nature of his situation and the complex factors involved. We also understand there are still some legal proceedings that are ongoing and we will respect due process.

"It was pivotal that we, along with Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski, meet with Deshaun to have a straightforward dialogue, discuss our priorities, and hear directly from him on how he wants to approach his career on and off the field. He was humble, sincere, and candid. In our conversations, Deshaun detailed his commitment to leading our team; he understands and embraces the hard work needed to build his name both in the community and on the field." Here's a look at fans going after James.
