For that reporter who asked the first question, how hard is it to say “why didnt pascal play tonight?” Someone who cannot phrase a simple question like that, i struggle to believe they can be an effective reporter.
Theres four possibilities why someone cant play:
Injury
Suspension
Coaches decision
Players decision
The reporter managed to only rule out injury and not get an answer to his real question. We all suspect coaches decision but thats not 100% certain.
