Steve S said:Define 'fake hurt', genius.
Fake Hurt: Ricky Williams is not the boyfriend, son, grandson, father, nephew, uncle, cousin, or close friend to 99.99999% of the fans. Nor have that number ever had a conversation with him or hung out with him. Nor does he have any effect on your lives financially or morally unless YOU allow it to. He is a person you watch through a TV, or down on that field with a lot of security guards around it. He is not a girlfriend/boyfriend or family member who has personally done anything to fracture an important relationship to the happiness/success of your life.
Too bad 50% of the fans can't differentiate that and feel as though Ricky PERSONALLY did something to the relationship they had between one another.
P.S. Your comment about "playing and following football" (ie. implying I don't) means nothing. I'll bet money I have played soccer at a higher level than you have football, and that's just as much as a team game, maybe more, than football.
