Claiming satire after the fact didn't make this a funny joke, and dragging Detroit into it at all is just ridiculous. Not all of our players were around for the STHS drama or understand that context. All they see is someone claiming we cheated.
Fwiw, if I had read far enough into the thread to see you say it was a joke I wouldn't have responded that angrily, I still just legitimately don't think it's funny considering Hamilton has been taking 100% honest takes like this for months and it's driven members of our team to lessened activity/inactivity, hence it's a bit touchy

I hadn't thought about it like that but god dammit you may be onto something here

Well that's sort of the point isn't it? People said that you guys were trying to game this the sim again and doing the same stuff as before. If you take a minute to look at other teams it's fairly obvious to me that that's not the case.

Be that as it may, surely you can understand why the sight of what appears to be another "HAMILTON CHEATHAWKS! GET EM!" might not exactly be well received when it doesn't outwardly appear to be remotely sarcastic until announced as such later in the thread
