A Houston reporter is looking for a new job this week, and it had everything to do with how he described the victims in the Deshaun Watson case.
According to Defector, the Houston Chronicle has decided to part ways with NFL writer Aaron Wilson over controversial remarks he made on WEEI Radio’s The Greg Hill Show.
Wilson compared the women suing Watson to terrorists.
“In his case, you know, it’s kind of you don’t negotiate with terrorists,” Wilson said on The Greg Hill Show, via Defector. “People are demanding money, they’re asking for money. It kept escalating, it kept going up and up and up. You’re talking about more and more funds, I’m not going to say how much it got to, but my understanding is, you know, that there was an admission that, it was, you know, something, you know just that this was, you know, just a money grab.”
Wilson had been covering the Houston Texans for years and doing an exceptional job, but his employer could not overlook his comments in such a high profiled case.
Wilson has yet to comment on his departure.
