Russell Wilson: The Separation Is In The Manipulation
Seattle’s seen this before
In some ways, Russ reminds me of another famous ex-Seattle athlete who worked so hard to craft a persona. An athlete who spent years making the world love him by trying to be what he thought we wanted. No, I don’t anticipate a steroid scandal, but there’s a lot of A-Rod in Mr. Wilson off the field. Tremendous talents, wanted to have the celebrity lifestyle but still seem like an everyman, and thought of as phony or plastic by many of their peers and teammates.
The Endgame
At the end of the day, the only way Russell Wilson gets traded is if it’s something he wants to happen. There is no way Seahawks General Manager John Schneider and ownership send him anywhere without it being his call. Should Jody Allen have to decide between Wilson and Pete Carroll; well, it’s been a nice run, Pete, but Russ is the franchise.
So Russ, enough of this garbage. Be an adult and make a decision. Aaron Rodgers is insufferable 95% of the time, but at least he said ‘I want out, and this is why”. We don’t even need an explanation. Given the state of Seattle’s roster, everyone understands.
We may never know the real Russell Wilson, but if this is what we’re missing… I don’t think we’re missing much at all.
