On Thursday, Terrell Owens announced that he has decided not to attend his Hall of Fame induction ceremony this August. In a prepared statement he made it clear he’s going to celebrate on his own terms, among other things.
This decision almost certainly is directly tied to the fact that Owens has been disgruntled with the Hall of Fame voters, who chose to abstain from voting him in until this year.
Given his history as an emotional guy, Owens’ decision shouldn’t be all that shocking in hindsight. Still, many on social media, including plenty of people in sports media, slammed Owens for what they considered a petty move.
In the end, it all boils down to one thing.
