Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson fired back at his detractors, calling the booing by fans 'disrespectful' and 'personal.' This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
Watson spoke at a press conference after an NFL preseason game against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday, Aug. 22, 2026, in Cleveland. He said he takes the booing personally but feels love on the road.
According to Watson, he doesn't feel support from fans in Cleveland, but he is warmly received in other cities. 'I feel love on the road,' he said.
This incident has reignited debates about Watson's future with the team. His contract and performance have drawn mixed reactions from fans.
Watson has faced fan discontent since joining the Browns in 2022. He has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, but he has denied the allegations.
As reported by the Associated Press, Watson's comments could further strain the relationship between fans and the team. The Browns have not yet officially responded.
Watson's next game is scheduled for early September. It remains to be seen how the relationship between the team and fans will evolve.
