Dez Bryant had something to say and did so with a plethora of tweets.
Deshaun Watson is set to face more misconduct allegations as the NFL appeared to launch an investigation into the claims made against the Houston Texans quarterback.
Tony Buzbee, the lawyer representing three women who filed civil lawsuits against Watson alleging sexual assault and civil assault, wrote on his Instagram that his law firm has a total of nine women who have made similar claims.
At the same time, free agent WR Dez Bryant took to Twitter and sent out a number of tweets about Black athletes being targets.

“Everything I do is for the athlete since I’ve been cut … Black white and any other race… whenever you become a professional it’s different and you have to take notice of that if you don’t that’s when negative outcomes present themselves.. depression anxiety death”
Two of the lawsuits against Watson alleged civil assault and a third alleged sexual assaults.
“The Buzbee Law Firm has now been hired by nine women to bring cases against Deshaun Watson. The allegations are similar,” he wrote in the social media post. “We have filed three, and, as we complete our due diligence, will file the remaining ones in due course. We are talking to several others. Cornelia and I appreciate the kind words, and outpouring of support for these brave women who are wiling [sic] to come forward and be heard. No matter what you do in life, there will always be detractors. As my dad always said: ‘If you are right, go ahead!’ And so we go.”
