In my case I just get irritated at stupidity and I've long been dismayed at the sheer number of people in our society who get duped by fake news. This is not a phenomenon limited to sports; Trump espouses the lie that there was a conspiracy to steal the election, it gets amplified by 'news' websites like Breitbart, Info Wars, and even Fox News. And yet people believe it - despite there being no court cases in which the case isn't eventually thrown out - enough believe it to show up in numbers on January 6th threatening the peaceful transfer of power in our nation.

Our society's disturbing inability to think critically about what is real and what is fake is scary and it shows what can be done in a society without a free press. If that can happen here, imagine what is happening in Moscow and Pyongyang.

Bringing it back to football, I'd rather not see the lack of critical thought here on this site. This is supposed to be Commanders discussion for the knowledgeable fan. We should all be able to tell a credible report when we see it.

Without going back through the entire thread, i don't believe anyone stated with fact Josh was the new owner; it was all speculation and even the title has a question mark in it

Though I agree with your highlighted statement I am not sure that is occurring here in this thread.

I would relate the the information/ speculation in this thread to the gleeful daydreaming of a first grader about what he may get from "Santa" this coming Xmas.
