Once again, here we have it. Evidentiary proof that the Gaytor fans just make ****e up, repeat it to one another, and then it becomes a mythological fact.
"The commitment article with quotes". Yeah, I don't know how to say this any other way. THEY JUST LIED ABOUT THAT. No article exists. If it had been "accidentally leaked", we are supposed to believe that no Gaytor fan snapshotted it or copy-pasted it? Good lord, we have Miami fans who snapshotted AND ordered the new adidas UltraBoost that ****'s Sporting Goods prematurely released before they pulled it off their website, yet we are supposed to believe that no Gaytor fan actually has photographic proof of this accidental Dijon commit article? Bullsh!te.
And the substance of the article? "Yeah, man, it had QUOTES and everything." How? Most pre-baked news stories that I've ever seen recycle old quotes like "I loved Hogtown the moment I got off the 747 direct flight from New York City" or something else vague that was uttered weeks previously. Yes, recruits make THEIR OWN commitment videos in advance, but nobody calls up all the internet writers to give them quotes in advance of committing. That's why it usually takes those beat writers a day or two to post ANOTHER article that features an interview with the new commit.
All of the stuff that the Gaytor fans have repeated to one another is false. It just is. And does Balake Alderman step up DURING the controversy to throw cold water on the fire? **** no. But a week or two later, Balake has all the (belated) answers. Yeah, the article had NO QUOTES. Which makes perfect sense, but still makes you wonder why Balake waited weeks to share this intel, which is not exactly senstive or timing-constrained.
I've described this process of Gaytor myth-building before, but we have even more proof of it. I'm sure if anyone cared to trace this falsehood back to its source, it would involve some random Gaytor porster making one unsupported claim, but it's the self-delusion and gullibility that is particularly striking. And there are a few types of self-delusion, this one is a funny one. This is the self-delusion that makes a normally skeptical Gaytor porster suspend logic and analysis to swalllow the Gaytor lie hook-line-and-sinker. "Wait, I've read that that there is a commitment article with quotes so many times, and I sooooo want to believe it, therefore I am going to accept it as fact even though it makes no sense at all and completely deviates from the normal type of commitment article."
Gaytor Logicz. You hate to see it. But then you love to see it...
