Why do people believe so much nonsense on the Internet? I used to have to tell my elderly mom that just because its on the Internet doesn't make it true

What the hell are you going on about?!?!

What the hell are you going on about?!?!

The fake clickbait blogs that people believe as facts. The Jets owner story had holes in it as did the Rangers team meeting blog. Just because its online doesn't make it true especially the extra sensational stuff posted to draw clicks for money.

The Athletic is a well-respected website and the article (not blog) was done by three legit journalists with ties to both the NFL and Jets and cited multiple sources inside the org for their article. This isn't twitter bullshit. If you choose not to believe it for "reasons", then I'll just hold you to that standard for any comments going forward.

That is possibly the most ridiculous thing I ever heard on this board. You do that.
