Cleveland Ironically Hosting National Massage Therapist Convention Only One Block Away From Browns Stadium

You can’t make this stuff up.

Deshaun Watson put himself into legal trouble  after allegedly sexual assaulting dozens of Houston-area massage therapists. Watson wanted out of town, which may or may not have anything to do with  his massage therapist issues, but ended up choosing the Browns, a team that has a well known history of losing. Ironically Watson will have to deal with more massage hate.  

The American Massage Therapy Association will hold its annual conference at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland later this month in the shadows of First Energy Stadium.

In things you cant make up…

With all the controversy surrounding the Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson and massage therapists, this is unbelievably ironic. The national convention for massage therapists is scheduled for Cleveland, August 25-27. https://t.co/RXLoKr4EnU

It is probably a good idea that Deshaun Watson is moved out of #Cleveland near the end of August.. #NFL #Browns https://t.co/eMzw1j56QT

AMTA released a statement following the six game suspension handed down by a judg.

“AMTA strongly believes that any client who steps over the line to inappropriate touch should face the legal consequences. And it’s disappointing to see such a relatively light punishment from the NFL levied toward Deshaun Watson in their findings of his violation of the league’s personal-conduct policy.

If the NFL is concerned about professionalism and upholding high standards in the league, creating a safe workplace for all members of athletes’ care teams should be a priority. We hope the league is taking measures to ensure that the massage therapists on the Browns’ personnel and throughout the NFL, as well as those supporting individual athletes, are able to work in a safe and professional environment. 

The alleged behavior, and the language used by the legal team and others involved in this case put professional, licensed massage therapists at risk by condoning inappropriate conduct in a massage environment.”

The NFL has appealed the judge’s decision.

More drama to ensue..
