Deshaun Watson just wants fans to be safe.

Over the past week or so, many in the Houston Texans fan base have planned a protest against the team in hopes it gets the QB to stay in towen and not be traded.

At 11 a.m., fans are organizing a peaceful rally starting at Watson’s restaurant Lefty’s, and marching all the way to NRG Stadium.

Tomorrow at 11 am we are going to meet @eatleftys to start the rally (not protest) than we will walk down Kirby to the bull at NRG

This is a peaceful rally, please wear masks! Thank you everybody who has supported this!

See you at 11 am! #IStandWith4 (updated flyer) pic.twitter.com/cQbRHwGnf3

Watson heard about it and spoke against fans doing so because COVID-19 spreading a high rate.

I’m hearing there is a march planned on my behalf in Houston today. Although I am humbled I ask that whoever is organizing the march cancel for the sake of public safety. Covid is spreading at a high rate & I don’t want any fans to unnecessarily expose themselves to infection.
