Disagree. The bombers hired a social media engagement consultant. They developed a word cloud to visualize fan engagement. Thomas appeared as one of the largest words in the cloud. The consultant thus confirmed the fan base is incredibly engaged with Thomas and highly recommended his resigning him based on projected additional revenue driven by fan engagement.
Other words that popped Hogan, MOS and Rum hut. So the course of the team has been set in the CFL version of Moneyball based on social media engagement instead of, checks notes, getting on base.
