The writing was always on the wall that Jody wasn't messing around. The narrative about her being a do-nothing was a fanciful invention of the fandom. This fanbase has been seeing ghosts, man. We've been inventing bogeymen under the bed to legitimize our own angst.
Good prose, man. I dig good prose.
It's completely true. We love to invent fantasies to pacify our preconceived notions of what we deem as "reality".
I don't fault any of us as we can't help ourselves due to our feverish allegiance. How else could you possibly be impartial with such an emotional attachment? We state opinions as fact because we desperately wish it to be so. Yet, to admit we know literally nothing about the inner workings of the empire is to relinquish any and all ideology that we might know something.
We don't.
This is why fans are fans, coaches are coaches, owners are owners and players are players.
Jody's actions today are a sober reminder that we don't know jack. Just like wearing that particular jersey has no bearing on the outcome of a game, nothing we say in a fan forum has any measurable basis in reality other than educated guesses.
We're just all along for the ride.
