Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 984 - 983 Not engaged in a proper job
Shock, impact, breaking boundaries, creating history!
The heat wave, one after another, never stops, no end in sight, once again deeply feeling Li Wei’s influence, an unstoppable force.
However, with fame comes controversy—
Envy, jealousy, rejection, various negative emotions also begin to grow.
Back then, Beckham burst onto the scene, breaking the barriers of competitive sports, with highly commercialized trends fully invading, even though Beckham became a banner-like leading figure; but at the same time, he was also pursued and blocked by the media and peers.
Twenty years and the world has changed dramatically, but at the same time, the unchanged parts far exceed imagination, such is the jealousy rooted deep in the soul.
Like Beckham, the attacks surrounding Li Wei are fully unleashed.
"Fashion icon Li Wei—so, is Li Wei ready for a second career change?"
"Li Wei, the advertising madman!"
"From the field to the red carpet, has Li Wei’s career gone off track?"
"Li Wei, Hollywood’s new darling, has his football talent been completely consumed by the media?"
"The new king of endorsements, Li Wei becomes the League’s First Man based on off-field income, the first football player ever to break an annual salary of one hundred million US Dollars, does this mean his brand value has surpassed his football value?"
"Li Wei, do you remember which direction the gate to the training ground opens?"
Criticism is overwhelming.
Clearly, many people harbor resentment and have been enduring for quite a long time.
Endorsements. Commercial activities. Talk shows. Movie premieres.
These are not enough, now even venturing into the fashion realm to lead trends?
So, what’s next, planning to stir up topics like Beckham by issuing statements every time you change your hairstyle, causing a heated debate?
If tomorrow Li Wei appears with a Mohawk or bald head, these media and netizens should collectively explode, slamming the table in astonishment—
I knew it!
Clearly, the off-field news is truly overwhelming, severely disrupting the view. The accusations against Li Wei for "not focusing on the right career" can no longer be contained.
It’s not just the media, netizens are the same.
In fact, compared to netizens, these media headlines are considered "merciful," without profanities, curses, or ugly personal attacks. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Log into social networks, that’s where the real hell is.
This scene is astonishing.
Maybe some are puzzled, could it be, not long ago everyone was unanimously singing praises for Li Wei, how could they suddenly turn their backs on him?
The answer lies in, with fame comes controversy.
It’s always been this way, the more the acclaim, the more the negativity, the style of this social media age has always been like this.
Originally, delivering historical-level stunning performances for two consecutive seasons, after entering the third year, Li Wei became the public enemy of the entire League, questioning whether the running back could provide peak performances for three consecutive seasons, voices persist endlessly, even more exaggerated than ever before.
After all, last season Li Wei completed a personal honor Grand Slam, regular season MVP, Super Bowl MVP, top player, yet he is only a sophomore, having joined the League for just two years and already entering the GOAT debate, it would be strange if there were no waves of doubt.
From all aspects, the next season poses a severe test for both Li Wei and the Kansas City Chiefs, an all-out siege by the League.
It is in this context that the off-field news around Li Wei grows increasingly intense, those fanatic fans wishing early on to crown Li Wei with the GOAT title, doing their utmost to heap all kinds of praise on him.
Thus, the backlash came.
When all teams focus wholeheartedly on preparing for the new season and welcoming the preseason, Li Wei goes alone to New York to attend a fashion brand’s launch event?
What does Reed think? What about the other diligent Kansas City Chiefs players focused on training? What about the preseason? Will Li Wei’s actions not affect the new season’s performance?
A chorus of condemnation strikes.
What about neglecting duties, what about being arrogant, what about holding talent in contempt, what about things not being the same, all kinds of strange rumors erupt, accusing Li Wei of focusing away from the field, even being absent-minded in training, completely lacking the wholeheartedly focused training attitude of the past two seasons.
Even news of the offseason training camp is drowned in the noisy side stories, internet’s goldfish turning around forget everything in an instant.
All of a sudden, Li Wei is swept into the storm center, endless worries and doubts about the new season, even early conclusions thrown out by Boston and Pittsburgh media—
Li Wei has exhausted his talent, next season’s performance is bound to be a disaster.
The entire social network is divided.
On one side, praises for Li Wei due to Nike and Louis Vuitton activities are endless, celebrating Li Wei making history again one by one.
On the other side, ridicule, criticism, and siege against Li Wei soar, the quantity and quality reaching new heights, enveloped in a chilling atmosphere.
So, what about Li Wei?
In this whirlwind, how does the person involved respond?
"...".
That is the answer, silence.
Li Wei, disappeared, completely invisible.
After returning to Kansas City, the team enters a closed state, all media blocked out, from coaches to players refusing to be interviewed.
Even when reporters try to confront them at the training base entrance or parking lot, players keep their mouths shut, head down to avoid, rush away.
Not just players and coaches, even team-related personnel without exception.
Even the smallest stadium manager, upon seeing reporters is like a mouse seeing a cat, each and every one speeds away like Wind Fire Wheel.
The Kansas City Chiefs inside and outside exude a tense atmosphere, with a storm brewing, faintly sensing the internal team atmosphere.
Everything, seems familiar—
Back then, the conflict between Beckham and Ferguson escalated to a breaking point, that’s exactly how Manchester United was.
In the bustling voices, "within the League" Lawson tries to remind:
He thinks things are not that simple.
Li Wei going to New York for an event before the preseason certainly had Reed’s consent, otherwise, Li Wei wouldn’t have acted on his own.
Now the event’s publicity effect far exceeds expectations, this is not Li Wei’s responsibility either, Li Wei returned to the team’s training base immediately, this action itself explains a lot.
In fact, back when Li Wei was at Alabama Crimson Tide Storm, similar situations occurred, seemingly a divergence conflict with the coaching staff; but later it was proven to be just a smoke bomb, their strategy to confuse opponents by going with the flow.
Lawson believes the current Kansas City Chiefs are no different.
However, this time Lawson is in the minority.
People generally believe Lawson, this "Li Wei Fan" is blinded by his own fanaticism, not seeing the truth, everyone urging Lawson to wake up and face the facts laid in front of him—
From all aspects, there should be a crack within the Kansas City Chiefs, Li Wei’s neglect of duties and dominance is becoming a problem.
This is not just a hidden danger, it’s already a problem, a serious problem!
