I think the reality is that you don’t get to be a sports hero and community icon without a certain level of unspoken responsibility that comes along with it. Like, you know, being respectful and fair to the team and community that made you a multi millionaire bought all those jerseys with your name on it, offered you a jersey retirement, local celebrity with an intense fan following, bought hundreds of thousands of tickets and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to watch and follow you around, etc etc etc etc.
You don’t get to be the hero and then just do whatever the #### you want and screw people over, or if you do you should 100% expect a reply.
I’m also extremely surprised that people don’t understand this very basic and straightforward implied social contract. That’s why people like Johnny have PR training so things don’t blow up like this.
