This.
I’m a football (soccer, sorry englishmen) fan and always been so into it. Its is very very very common players get injured in a horrible season and use it to not play so their value doesn’t plunge, some or them even fake it.
I think we all agree that Jerry moves all strings at the “organization”, i wouldn’t be surprised if he planned all this.
I agree conspiracy theories are crazy and serve almost no purpose, but its well known that happens in other sports and we also know how Jerry do business, and take a guess, this a business.
