Deshaun Watson says 'emotions got the best of me' after ripping Cleveland Browns fans for booing
Sort of.Probably more an explanation.DESHAUN WATSON FIRES BACK AT BROWNS FANS AFTER HE'S BOOED AT HOMEWhatever it was, once Watson was selected the team's starting quarterback on Monday morning, he got the message that ripping the fan base is not such a good idea – even if they booed him before, during and after he played in Saturday's preseason game.Deshaun Watson #4 of the Cleveland Browns listens to questions during a press conference prior to a joint practice with the Philadelphia Eagles at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus on August 18, 2022 in Berea, Ohio.(Nick Cammett/Getty Images)"First off, I want to address the comments from Saturday after the game," Watson said to begin his presser.
"I think just human nature and myself being very emotional, putting a lot of time these last two years to get back, spend time in this facility, in the city, meeting a lot of different people in the community, I thought I was going to get a little different response."But I think my emotions got the best of me, and my comments weren’t intended to go at any of the fans around the city, because there’s been a lot of great fans that have been supporting me."Waiting for the apology."And I know the frustration.This organization put a lot of investment into getting me back in ’22, and things haven’t been going the right direction that we thought it would.
A lot of injuries, a lot of time off, and not putting my best football and my best foot forward."So, again, I understand the frustration, I understand everything that goes into that."Deshaun Watson #4 of the Cleveland Browns listens to questions during a press conference prior to a joint practice with the Philadelphia Eagles at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus on August 18, 2022 in Berea, Ohio.(Nick Cammett/Getty Images)BROWNS PICK DESHAUN WATSON AS THEIR STARTING QB DESPITE BOOING INCIDENTYeah, this an explanation.
Not an apology for saying the fans had gotten "personal," and made him feel some sort of way about their reactions...
