Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 709 A sensation in the whole city
Hunter is not a fool, he would not naively believe that Vic and Levi were just exchanging casual greetings; but if not, the conversation between the two was so simple, does this mean that Vic chose to believe Levi?

My heart tightened.

Taking a deep breath, and another deep breath, Hunter tried to calm himself down.

Don't rush things.

however.

Hunter couldn't help it after all, so he stopped and waited there.

"Rookie..."

"Rookie!"

Hunter called out repeatedly, pulling Levi to stop, and looked around furtively, afraid of attracting other people's attention. However, he was totally unaware that the more he did so, the more attention he would draw. This was a perfect example 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."

Levi laughed dumbly——

Is it that Hunter himself has too low a brain capacity, or does Hunter think that his brain capacity is too low?

Until now, Hunter still thought that Levi would be manipulated like a Barbie doll?
then.

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 smiled, "Be patient, good news will come soon. Congratulations in advance."

After saying that, Levi patted Hunter's arm, then clenched his fist and waved it gently.

"Come on."

Then, he walked around Hunter and left.

Hunter was left standing there alone, his mood changing. It was hard to tell exactly what was going on. After a beat, Hunter remembered that he had forgotten the most important thing:
What exactly did Levi and Vicky say?

From a certain perspective, Levi was right. Hunter didn't have to wait too long to get the news. But the problem was -

Not good news.

To be more precise, it was a terrible piece of news that exploded the entire social network, and not only Hunter, but the entire Kansas City Chiefs were involved.

On Wednesday, just as the entire league's attention was gradually focused on Thursday night games, 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.

At first, TMZ was no different from thousands of gossip media and paparazzi, focusing on Hollywood actors and singers; but slowly, with the full development of the Internet, they began to get involved in other fields, including the sports world.

In 2009, golf superstar Tiger Woods was involved in a car accident. It was originally just an unfortunate accident, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse and involved a lot of scandals.

Drugs, alcohol, addiction, these are just the tip of the iceberg; nineteen "mistresses" have come to light one after another, making even the master of time management bow down to him. Four of them showed up with their real names, presented evidence and accepted interviews. They not only appeared on TV, but also prepared to write books and biographies, which caused a sensation during this romantic affair.

Everything was uncovered by TMZ.

Moreover, the most special thing about TMZ is also the key that distinguishes them from traditional gossip media -

reality.

It is hard to imagine that a gossip media can be linked to the truth.

In fact, when traditional gossip media began to take things out of context, make up stories based on hearsay and pictures, TMZ realized that there were more and more nonsense and fake news on the Internet. The news became more and more outrageous and exaggerated, and gossip lost its original stimulation.

So, TMZ went the other way and started to take the route of "exploring the truth" -

Gossip is still gossip, but TMZ is keen on finding solid evidence. Over time, when a new piece of gossip appears, people tend to be skeptical and wait until TMZ confirms it before they really believe it.

Such a situation is indeed absurd, but TMZ is now indeed the best platform to confirm the authenticity and correctness of gossip news.

TMZ and the NFL appeared in the same news headline in an unexpected way, but it was obviously not good news for the NFL.

This time, TMZ's focus is on football, targeting the defending champion.

TMZ released a video of the hotel surveillance video——

In the video, a man pushes and violently kicks a woman.

According to reports, TMZ said that the incident happened in Cleveland in February of this year, after the Kansas City Chiefs' championship parade. The man in the video was Hunter, the second running back of the Super Bowl champion.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

In addition, TMZ stated that at the time, the woman had called the police and was preparing to sue Hunter; both the Kansas City Chiefs and the NFL had been notified.

However...neither the Kansas City Chiefs nor the league made any moves.

On the contrary, the woman later withdrew the lawsuit and disappeared, and the incident did not even attract any attention on social networks.

TMZ's subtext is obvious, and the arrow is pointed directly at the team and the league.

A storm swept across the entire network at lightning speed.

When you are famous, you are prone to gossip. Now there are more and more fans who like the Kansas City Chiefs in the league; but at the same time, the number of fans who dislike and even hate the Kansas City Chiefs is also increasing.

After a lot of effort, the haters finally got their chance and got some solid evidence. They were so excited that they almost lost their minds.

Condemn, attack, and abuse.

Overwhelming.

On social networks, people have expressed strong condemnation and disappointment over Hunter's violent behavior. The violence in the video is clear and indefensible, and such behavior is unacceptable under any circumstances.

In addition, the finger is pointed directly at the Kansas City Chiefs and the league. From February to November, a full ten months, the team and the league had enough time and space to conduct an investigation, but they did not take any action.

Not only that, they may have even helped cover up this violent incident.

Even putting aside conspiracy theories for the moment and whether the Kansas City Chiefs and the league helped cover up the incident, the league has serious problems with its consistency and transparency in dealing with the issue of violent behavior by football players.

In 2014, Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice beat his fiancée in an elevator at a New Jersey casino, knocking her unconscious and dragging her out of the elevator.

However, the NFL only suspended Rice for two games.

After facing strong condemnation from the media and the public, the league extended the ban indefinitely, and the Baltimore Ravens belatedly terminated Rice's contract.

Similar things have happened not once or twice in these years, but have become widespread.

And, it’s the same year.

Reuben Foster, a linebacker from the University of Alabama who was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers, was also charged with domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend.

The first time was in February, but the charges were later dropped; the second time was in November, but Foster still couldn't control himself, and this time his ex-girlfriend finally made up her mind to take legal action after the breakup.

Subsequently, the San Francisco 49ers announced the firing of Foster.

However, the Washington Redskins signed this first-round linebacker, even though the NFL was conducting its own investigation into the Foster incident.

During the investigation, Foster was temporarily suspended and was not allowed to appear on the field.

Apparently, the Washington Redskins don't care.

One after another, this is not an isolated phenomenon, but a common phenomenon. The teams and the league must face up to the problem and attach importance to its seriousness.

The whole city was in an uproar.
