All parties involved that matter: The Whitecaps, my family and myself knew about my trip. Martin Rennie was correct on saying that I was in the US to take care of a previous appointment. That's it. No story, no ulterior motives, and I'll be back at training on Friday.
There is no reason to try to "clear" anything up because this is a non issue. Everything is clear with the people who matter. If fans think they should follow the lead of a journalist that is just trying to create drama, then that is what they choose.
I think is a result of people desiring more stories about their favourite teams and players, like in Europe where any time Rooney sneezes or Balotelli sets something on fire, it makes national headlines. It would be great to get more actual MLS news but this is not the way of going about it. Hope you had a great trip!

Part of the problem today is the misguided public perception that we have the right to instant access on everything. And to a large degree, social media such as Facebook and Twitter feeds that affliction, and I dare say addiction.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Joe. If you look at the shear number of articles and write ups in any given hour 1 would have to think that they have far too many journalists(?) employed and with far too much time on their hands that they have to find something to write about to keep their jobs
