Technicality, I know, but: Gio *publicly stated* that he was unhappy about trading him. He has also publicly stated that everything is fine with Moreno and he toooootally hasn’t lost the locker room at all.

Yeah, Gio doesn't have much credibility at this point, but at the time it would be hard to see an upside for him throwing Wilkinson under the bus over Jebo. However, Wilkinson knew plenty of supporters already hated him, so why not take the heat? But Wilkinson also made up stories about his wife being harassed at the grocery store to get supporters to take it easier on him. Wilkinson doesn't seem like a "take one for the team" type. It's also possible that Gio just speaks nonsense without really thinking and that whatever he says doesn't really mean much. Why attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence?
At least twice. Once back in the late USL or early MLS days. Then again more recently, using Thorns players as proxies. He apparently told players that supporters had confronted his wife in public and they repeated it uncritically on social media. Supporters who didn't know his history picked up on it and used it to shame whichever 107IST, TA, Riveters, or SCAN people they imagined were responsible for the fictional confrontation. Nobody knows what Gavin's wife looks like and nobody would confront his family about him. Hell, I even restrained myself from telling Golub a thing or two when I saw him on the concourse by himself. As far as I know, nobody ever confronted even Gavin publicly. At worst he got awkward questions at invite-only town halls.
GW did tell Thorns players that supporters harassed his wife. I'm not going to go social media archaeologist and dig up fossilized Twitter or Instagram posts to disabuse you of your delusions. You can dig yourself a hole.
Learn how to understand conjecture, sarcasm, elaboration, and any number of other rhetorical devices people use to makes points in the court of public opinion as opposed to gathering evidence to present before a court of law. Or don't.
I have no idea what you're trying to say about my aborted interaction with Golub or what "all people" might do.
I'm judging you. The political spectrum is beside the point. There's plenty of nonsense to go around. If you think "making blanket statements with no evidence to back up" is the exclusive province of a "side," that says more about you than anything I've said does about me. Besides, you can see my politics in part from the T-shirt and scarf in my avi. I don't care what you think about it because I don't respect you. Ciao.
I didn’t read that but let’s agree not to engage with each other anymore. I thought I’d blocked or muted you already. I knew better but my better nature fooled me into imaging you’d act in good faith for once. Shame on me.

I agree that Gio can give milquetoast responses to things, but he really threw GW under the bus when Jebo got shipped out.

" I bet I know what side of the political spectrum you sit on."
Why was this necessary to the point you were making?
This same fucking dude has told other people to keep politics out of their posts so it doesn't sow division. Ridiculous.
I believe this style of disputation is known as "trolling".
