Evan Russell is a student athlete who could have literally anything going on in his life right now, from being sick to having some totally messed up family situation, who knows. Not me, and not my business. We have Olympians taking time off for being in a bad head space. Not everything needs to be news. CTV is a 43 year old man in his first head coaching gig and for all I know has never in his life been presented with whatever the heck specific situation is currently going on, and he just went with “he’s sick”. Maybe he is. Again, not my business. People whose livelihoods depend on clicks though are not who I’m looking to to “solve” a mystery I’m not entitled to a solution for.
