Now that it’s freely obvious what a dimwit Russell Wilson is, a lot of his water carriers across the NFL media are doubling down on the reality of what a poor teammate he is, as though they’ve been conned.
He’s been fawned over for so long, a lot was overlooked for the sake of worship, affording him cult-of-personality status similar to what you see when the kingdoms our modern day “contrepreneurs” collapse - Theranos, FBX, WeWork, Fyre Festival - and their worshippers on CNBC, Bloomberg, and at Fortune Magazine villainize them after a period of denial. I’m seeing the same dynamic with Russell Wilson and the NFL media.
Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving. Turning parade on before the Lions kickoff.
