Phony: : not true, real, or genuine : intended to make someone think something that is not true He isn't genuine, it's all a big PR image ruse.
this might surprise you, but I knew what phony meant even before you posted this. being very image conscious doesn't equate to a ruse.
You're absolutely right. But Russel Wilson goes so far beyond image conscious it's not even funny. He's 100% fake.
“I didn’t have a concussion,” Wilson said. “I guess it was perceived wrong. I did not have a concussion. I was saying that I had been consistently drinking the water for a month and a half — five, seven times a day. And I was like, ‘Man, maybe this stuff is helping me out.'” “I think your brain consists of like 75, 80 percent water, so I think that just being hydrated, drinking the recovery water really does help.” This was him backtracking, if it was a joke he could have just said so.
If it were 100% fake, he wouldn't spend an inordinate amount of time with kids who are near death every single Tuesday for 3 years straight.
It doesn't strike me as at all unlikely that he believes some vitamin water or whatever the hell that stuff is was a critical factor in his recovery.
You would be stunned at the number of people that believe swishing coconut oil in your mouth cures basically everything.
I don't know enough about the guy to even have an opinion. I know he is a massively overrated QB. I don't really care about anything he does off the field, but I don't think you've made the case that he's phony.
