It’s really interesting to see the family members of players on the team liking comments on social media criticizing KK’s decision-making (re: keeping Gale and roster-building)as well as comments about Gale being a poor coach with poor tactics…

Coming from what I know about how most of the players feel about KK (what I’ve heard has been mostly personality-based), I’m curious what they think about her as a GM…Regardless, it’s not great when multiple players’ family members seem to agree with the public criticisms of the club/FO/coaching. I'm not a fan of family members getting involved, not at all, but it can maybe signal something more behind the scenes.

I can't get too invested in this team until KK and Gale are gone. Feels like just a waste of time with certain disappointment waiting for me at the end. It won't be long before this feeling enters the minds of free agents if it hasn't already.

Your last point, which Thornando mentioned elsewhere in this thread, is one of my key concerns—-especially given the obvious positional needs we need to fill.

Can you be specific?

About? I thought I was pretty specific throughout (w/out obviously naming names...)...

I mean what are some of the posts and stuff? Likes are private now so it’s not like we’ll see who liked what

Yeah, nothing on twitter this time because, as you've noted, you can't see likes anymore...although before likes were private, Moultrie's uncle routinely voiced displeasure (via likes, comments, and his own posts), especially concerning the coaching/tactics and the starting of Sinclair. It was more during the Norris era, though. I'm on twitter less, so I haven't seen anything lately, but he used to pop up on IG also.

On instagram, it's been in the comments of posts, as well as the Riveting FB group...where Weaver's mom routinely pops up liking and/or commenting on somewhat controversial comments...I've seen it here and there for like the last 2 years honestly.

I also know through a direct player that KK is not well-liked in the locker room among many players...so it does make me curious about what the general opinions are of her from GM standpoint (again, most of it has been personality-based) from players and their families (who have obvious influence.) It's not even really a surprise though, if you remember the players having to go above her and write that letter to the league saying they felt unsafe with how the Rhian thing was being handled...it's prob still floating around out there, I've found it multiple times.

There's folks on this blog that have insight to inside info in various ways, but I'm guessing like myself, a lot of it kinda has to remain at least somewhat vague. Likes and comments are obv small potatoes, but it still can signal displeasure somewhere. In this specific instance that prompted my comment, it was under comments on IG.

(Also a lot of this isn’t really new, it’s mostly been said and discussed here prior)
