Chapter 709 A sensation in the city
Hunter is not a fool, he will not naively believe that Vicky and Levi are just daily greetings; but if not, the conversation between the two people is so simple, does this mean that Vicky chooses Believe Levi?
Heart, tight.
Taking a deep breath, and another deep breath, Hunter tried to calm himself down——
Don't rush things.
However.
After all, Hunter couldn't hold it back, stopped and waited where he was.
"Rookie..."
"Rookie!"
Hunter called repeatedly, pulled Levi to stop, and looked around furtively, fearing that others would notice him, but completely unaware of it. The more he did this, the more people would notice him, which was the perfect interpretation of a guilty conscience.
"What did the team manager just say to you?" Hunter lowered his voice.
But before Levi could speak, Hunter couldn't wait to continue, "I tell you, the road has been paved, you just need to cooperate with the performance."
Li Wei laughed dumbly——
Is it because Hunter's own brain capacity is too low, or does Hunter think his brain capacity is too low?
Until now, Hunter still thinks that Levi will be at the mercy of Barbie doll?
So.
Levi nodded gently, his face full of sincerity, "Yes, that's what I did."
Hunter frowned, not hiding his confusion, and looked at Levi carefully from a distance.
Levi still looked serious and showed a smile, "Be patient, the good news will come soon. Congratulations to you in advance."
After speaking, Levi patted Hunter's arm, then made a fist and waved it gently.
"Come on."
Then, he walked around Hunter and walked away.
Hunter was left standing alone, the weather was uncertain, and it was difficult to distinguish accurately for a while. After a moment, Hunter remembered that he had forgotten the most important thing:
Levi and Vicky What exactly was said.
From a certain point of view, Levi was right. Hunter did not wait long for the news; but the problem was——
Not good news.
To be more precise, it was a terrible piece of news that detonated the entire social network. Not only Hunter, but the entire Kansas Chiefs were also involved.
On Wednesday, just as the entire league was gradually focusing on the Thursday night game, an unexpected voice disrupted the league's plans.
TMZ.
A website, a gossip website based in Los Angeles, was officially born after the millennium, and climbed to the top of the Internet at a rapid speed.
In the beginning, TMZ was no different from millions of gossip media and paparazzi, focusing on Hollywood actors and singers; but slowly, with the comprehensive development of the Internet, they began to get involved in other fields, including the sports world. Inside.
In 2009, golf superstar Tiger Woods was involved in a car accident. This was originally just an unfortunate accident, but he did not expect that things took a sudden turn and involved a lot of scandals.
Drugs, alcohol, addiction, these are just the tip of the iceberg; nineteen "mistresses" have come to the surface one after another, leaving even the master of time management at their wits' end. Four of the mistresses appeared in real names to show evidence and were interviewed. They not only appeared on TV, but also Preparing to publish a book and biography has made this romantic affair even more popular and caused an uproar.
Everything, everything was unearthed by TMZ.
Moreover, the most special thing about TMZ is also the key to distinguishing them from traditional gossip media——
reality.
It is unimaginable that a gossip media can actually be linked to the truth.
In fact, when the traditional gossip media began to make up nonsense out of context and use pictures to tell stories, TMZ realized that there were more and more nonsense and fake news on the Internet. The more outrageous and exaggerated the news, the more the gossip became lost. Exciting as it should be.
So, TMZ went in the opposite direction and began to take the "exploring the truth" route——
Gossip is still gossip, but TMZ is keen on finding solid evidence. Over time, after a new piece of gossip appears, people tend to be dubious and wait until TMZ confirms it before they truly believe it.
This situation is indeed a bit ridiculous, but TMZ is now indeed the best platform to confirm the authenticity and correctness of gossip news.
TMZ and the NFL appear in the same news headline in an unexpected way, but for the NFL, this is obviously not good news.
This time, TMZ's focus is on football and the defending champions.
TMZ released a hotel surveillance video -
In the video, a man pushed and violently kicked a woman.
According to reports, TMZ stated that this incident occurred in Cleveland in February this year, after the Kansas Chiefs’ championship parade. The man in the video was the Super Bowl champion’s No. 2 running back Hunter.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
In addition, TMZ stated that at that time, the woman had called the police and was preparing to sue Hunter; the Kansas City Chiefs and the NFL were notified.
However...neither the Kansas Chiefs nor the league made any move.
On the contrary, the woman later dropped the lawsuit and disappeared, and the incident did not even attract any attention on social networks.
TMZ's subtext couldn't be more obvious, pointing directly at the team and the league.
A storm swept across the entire network with lightning speed.
There are many popular people, and there are more and more fans in the league who like the Kansas Chiefs; but at the same time, the number of fans who dislike or even hate the Kansas Chiefs is also increasing.
After a lot of effort, the anti-fans finally seized the opportunity and came up with real news. One or two of them were so excited that they almost lost their minds.
Condemn, attack, abuse.
Overwhelming.
On social networks, people have expressed strong condemnation and disappointment at Hunter's violent behavior. The violent behavior in the video is clear and indefensible. This kind of behavior is unacceptable under any circumstances.
In addition, the finger was directed at the Kansas City Chiefs and the league. For ten months from February to November, the team and the league had enough time and space to launch an investigation, but they took no action.
Not only did he not do it, but he might even have helped cover up this violent incident.
Even setting aside conspiracy theories for a moment, and setting aside whether the Kansas City Chiefs and the league helped cover up the burial, there are serious issues with the league's consistency and transparency in dealing with violence by football players.
In 2014, Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice beat his fiancée in an elevator at a New Jersey casino, causing her to faint and drag her out of the elevator.
However, the NFL only suspended Rice for two games.
After encountering strong condemnation from the media and the public, the league extended the suspension to an indefinite period, and the Baltimore Ravens belatedly terminated Rice's contract.
Similar things have happened not just once or twice over the years, but in general.
And, it’s also this year.
Reuben Foster, a linebacker from the University of Alabama and drafted by the San Francisco 49ers, was also accused of domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend.
Once in February, but the prosecution was later dropped; once in November, Foster still could not control himself. This time the ex-girlfriend finally made up her mind to take legal proceedings after breaking up.
Subsequently, the San Francisco 49ers announced that they would fire Foster.
However, in a sudden turn, the Washington Redskins signed the first-round linebacker, even though the NFL was launching its own investigation into the Foster incident——
Foster was temporarily suspended from the game during the investigation and was not allowed to appear on the court.
Apparently, the Washington Redskins don't care.
One after another, this is not an isolated phenomenon, but a common phenomenon. The team and the league must face up to the problem and pay attention to the seriousness of the problem.
The whole city was shocked.
