Tell me, at what point is the Finnish Nation team less credible than the Calgary Flames to you? By your logic, if he tells the Calgary Flames he's retiring from hockey and a reporter reports it, it's just a rumour!

Please, explain the difference between these two:
Kipper tells Finnish team he's retiring from hockey - Finnish team reports it to news - News spreads

Kipper tells Flames he's retiring from hockey - Flames team reports it to news - News spreads

Go ahead and tell me what makes one a rumour to you. As I said, Feaster backed up the report, simply hoping he'd take time and change his mind. Why would Feaster address a rumour as fact? You don't hope a 'rumour' changes.
