If Roger Goodell had a nickel for everytime a Pro Bowler faced sexual harassment allegations from masseuses, he’d have two nickels. It’s not much, but it’s odd that it’s happened twice.

On Thursday, Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker was the center of another massage-related scandal for the NFL. This time, several alleged victims accused Tucker of inappropriate behavior during sessions over the last few years.

This isn’t the place to get into the details. The Associated Press put something together on Thursday after The Baltimore Banner broke the story that afternoon.

I want to take a minute and say that the allegations should be taken seriously, and the same stance applied to Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson.

The goal today isn’t to prove what is fact or fiction. The purpose is to pitch a solution, and honestly, it’s pretty simple.

As a Browns fan, Deshaun Watson’s era in Cleveland has been a nightmare. And it all started with very similar allegations.

Even prior to the trade between the Browns and Houston Texans, I asked a question: Why aren’t things like massages handled by the franchises?

This would alleviate a lot of problems for all parties. All teams have to do is dedicate two rooms, a room to work in with a camera and a changing room for the players.

The masseuses hired would operate in a safer space, the player’s privacy won’t be violated because of the changing room and it eliminates any false accusations and the league doesn’t have to worry about their reputation going in the toilet.

Some might say that it’s the player’s body, and there is a certain level of privacy. But there are stipulations in contracts about extracurricular activities and workouts.

If a player can lose money getting injured working out off campus or riding a skateboard, why shouldn’t the same apply to things such as massages? It should make even more sense if there are multiple players on the roster that are looking for the service. It’s consolidating the risk.

Additionally, any video evidence should only be reviewed in the event of allegations against a player.

And it also shouldn’t stop at the NFL.

As talented college athletes are starting to make significant money via name, image and likeness contracts, things like private massages could open the door for incidents involving upcoming stars.

In the past, this won’t have been an issue. The players had to adhere to the rules and guidelines set by their colleges and coaches. But as bank accounts increase, the private wellbeing and workout processes for these athletes change as well.

NFL teams obviously have the funds to do something like this, and the well-backed athletic departments at universities, such as Ohio State, could do the same. I don’t think smaller programs like Kent State or Youngstown State have the wallet to pay a player to go off and do their own wellness plan, so it shouldn’t be a concern for them.

It’s a simple solution, but one that can mitigate risk for all parties involved. And Goodell and the rest of the NFL probably don’t want to add an extra 5 cents to the ledger.
