I’ve been a Madden fan since GoT and didn’t know who Froy was until he hooked up with Richard. So, yeah, I freely admit I’m concerned about him and hope he is doing well, and that concern to some extent has hampered my cheering for Froy. But apparently it’s been a few months since they’ve split so maybe Richard even has a new squeeze by now. (I hope so!)
But yeah, I think a lot of the outcry is coming from straight female fans who are *going through something* upon discovering their fave ain’t gonna marry them after all.
