Please keep this about sports but seriously what is the deal with all these bullshit stories? I don't think I've ever seen anything like this. It's not even just twisting stories around. A lot of this content are flat out making up stories out of thin air. And some of them so whacky it's surprising someone would have the audacity to make it up. Of course social media content has always been problematic but it feels like it's been especially bad this year.
The Reid retirement narrative seems ridiculous but at least there's a sports reporter who will eat it when it's proven wrong. It feels like we've reached a point where between all the clickbait and the AI theres no reputational consequence anymore to making shit up. I mean Reid and Travis have both directly said they're gonna keep going and we still have to listen to this nonsense
