Late to the party here kids.
For the record, None of Boom's article read like an attack piece specifically on our bex.
It literally just read like an article specifically about just Toriki the character in the NSFL, the running back, not the commissioner with a slight enjoyment of champagne.
Everyone freaked out about nothing.
If a rookie player up and left their NFL team a season after drafting them, it'd be a huge story. Like say Josh Jacobs just said "K Oakland, i'm out" and went to play with Quinnen Williams on the Jets (Both went to Alabama, fyi), there's zero doubt in my mind we'd see a piece or two like that online, especially written a bit angrily from an Oakland writer.
I get it, it's hard to not feel like it was about bex and not about Marcella. That separation is hard for some people and easy for others. (Do you REALLY think i'm just like Penny Kowers in the PBE?) When bex the person is threatened, of course all of NOLA would want to come out and defend her. That makes sense. But that clearly wasn't the case and the world went crazy for a minute there.
Honestly, it felt more like an article of bringing up potential compensation about such a scenario than anything else. And it's not like he didn't just write a similar piece about Ashley Owens spurning Austin for Colorado. It's just an NSFL media piece people. How you react to it is on you.
Anyway, my point is, maybe we just don't take things too seriously and fly off the handle right away. How is a person completely new to the league supposed to know the actual emotional part of the "bex FA adventure" or even the "Ashley Owens FA adventure"? To an outsider, he just saw an interesting story and wrote about it. And he picked a theme which was just that Toriki the character who doesn't really exist leaving SJS was "bad" to him.
That should've never gotten that serious. I'm sorry feelings were hurt, but there's going to be future rookies to the league that end up doing similar things that might hurt others by accident and i don't think its the best of looks if we freak out on that. Pushing people away is never the answer.
Anyway, i love you all. Except for AdamS, of course.
Fun edit: I said this before I even found out about Boom’s response that was moved to the TD, for transparency’s sake
