Michael Tracey wants it to be known that he was *not* trying to "doxx" the victim of a horrible gang rape, he was merely trying to expose her identity and reveal it to their entire world. They're very different things, you see.
Someone described as a "CNN Creator" put out this video claiming I called for the "doxxing" of Jane Doe, and now a nationwide movement has been sparked against me. I NEVER CALLED FOR "DOXXING." CNN APPARENTLY OPPOSES WHAT IS CALLED "REPORTING" ON CLAIMANTS IN CIVIL PROCEEDINGS

The problem isn’t that they’re moving past it—it’s that they’re trying to rehabilitate it. Would be better for everyone if people who don’t want to engage with the facts just talked about the play on the field and left it at that.

Deshaun Watson reached confidential settlements with at least 26 women who credibly accused him of sexual violence. That’s more women than years I’ve been alive. Praising him like this for ‘overcoming challenges’ is genuinely insane, pro-rape culture behavior.

Would players want to know if they have the disease? Some would and some wouldn't. Here's what they said.
