One store in Houston has decided to mark down DeShaun Watson jerseys after the team ended up drafting a QB in the third round amid 22 sexual assault lawsuits against him.
“In Sugar Land, you can buy Deshaun Watson jerseys for half off. That’s pretty sobering,” digital producer Brandon Kyle Scott of SportsRadio610 tweeted, along with a picture of the Texans’ quarterback jerseys with a red tag on them that said “50% off.”

DeShaun is currently facing more than 20 lawsuits for alleged sexual assault and misconduct brought forward by women, most of whom work as licensed massage therapists, Daily Mail reported.
Watson’s attorney, Rusty Hardin, has said his client admitted he has had “consensual” sexual encounters with masseuses.
