The team said it’s not a criminal matter, and I tend to believe them on that point. So, it seems he did something that is legal, but wildly against team rules, and is being fired for it. The other players that have been asked have said they don’t know what’s going on, so it’s likely not a locker room fight or something like that.
If it were drugs, you’d think he’d go into the player assistance program, unless he refused.
My guess, either drugs, or he did sleep with someone he shouldn’t have, vehement objections to the contrary.
“The team had remained unusually mum and secretive about his status, even after general manager Kyle Davidson held a news conference Saturday. Davidson is expected to hold another news conference Tuesday afternoon.”
That’s the only other information I was able to find; that’s from the ‘Chigago Sun Times’
I think it’s funny they’re being intentionally obtuse in answering questions and then describe people’s speculation as “disgusting”
Why is it funny? If the union/lawyers/contracts are involved, there’s plenty of reasons not to blab to the press. This doesn’t seem like a “but the public has a right to know!” issue, so not sure why finding gossip disgusting would be funny.
Because they’re being intentionally vague in their responses. What else would you expect from people when you don’t answer their questions?
