"I need to apologize to all the fans. When President Xiao Hua asked me to report a series of so-called scandalous past stories about Tang, I eventually gave in under his threats. The stories I published caused tremendous damage to Tang's personal image. My conscience is deeply troubled. I have decided to resign from my position as Vice President of FOX Sports and apologize to Tang and all the fans."
The fans' first reaction upon seeing that tweet was: Had Jenkins's Twitter been hacked?!
After all, the League President was smearing the Number One Player in the League?
It sounded unbelievable!
But they soon realized that was the wrong conclusion, because evidence had been attached beneath the tweet.
It was an email.
An email instructing Jenkins to expose Tang Tian's scandalous past.
Although the email had been sent from an alternate account, the tone of its contents was very similar to Xiao Hua's.
And only the league had the means to provide the media with so much scandalous past material at once.
As soon as that tweet was posted, social media instantly exploded.
"Has Xiao Hua gone crazy? And why would he maliciously smear Tang? Wasn't that just smashing his own brand? Was it just because Tang dissed him in front of the media before?!"
"He must have been dumbed down by the Hand of God!"
"Or maybe that wasn't the real Xiao Hua, but Arya Stark in disguise! (￣_, ￣)"
(Note: Arya Stark is a character from Game of Thrones and a disciple of Jaqen, the Faceless Man.)
"I think all of you may have completely underestimated the impact of Tang's earlier remarks. This was the first time an NBA President had been publicly questioned!"
"Now that you put it that way, Xiao Hua is such a sinister person.
