Bingo. There is a faction of “insiders” and possible boosters who did not like the Frost hire to begin with, and they are understandably disappointed with the results through year three. What is not understandable to me is that they are using their disappointment as a way to justify sabotaging the program.
There’s a few on NCIU and RSS who drop unsubstantiated rumors with the clear intent of sabotaging and smearing Frost. They did it with Jaimes. They did it with the “racial tensions” rumor. My guess is they are doing it again.
It is not much different than how partisan news outlets on both sides will run stories citing “anonymous sources” in a clear attempt to defame politicians.
The rumors they spread accomplish their goal by creating additional malcontent among the faction of fans who agree with them and also by plucking a few gullible people from the other side with each new rumor they create.
Unfortunately, this tactic works, and the only way Frost can stop it is by winning.
Until proven otherwise, it would be wise for us to see this and other similar rumors like the Jaimes situation for what it appears to be (a rumor) until a reputable and unbiased source confirms it to be true.
