When you posted that AI-generated photo in the Mosconi Cup thread, I honestly thought it was adorable, Team USA bonding in their pajamas, hanging out together and watching TV. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice what was actually on the TV screen.
I later shared the photo on Facebook in a Window’s Open Mosconi Cup thread because I felt it nicely illustrated how Team USA spent time together and bonded as a group. There was no ill intent whatsoever.
Sky Woodward’s mother then jumped into the thread like a pit bull ready for a fight and unloaded on me with vulgarity and insults, including the comment, “I’ll take a mugshot for my son.” What, are you kidding me? What bothered me most wasn’t just the hostility, but her making a flat-out untrue statement about me, claiming that I have bashed Sky Woodward in the past, which was 100 percent an untruth. That is when I saw red.
Over the years, I’ve posted numerous photos and comments praising Sky when he’s on a strong run and cheering him and Team USA on. I even created a Facebook banner featuring Sky when he was riding high. Yet she doubled down and said, “She’s done this before,” referring to me, and that other parents were upset with me, which is a complete falsehood. I'm friends with parents of one Team USA member, and we share almost daily back-and-forths on Facebook, and the parents of Fedor, Shane, and Tyler are not active on Facebook.
I rarely use the words lie or liar, but in this case, they unfortunately fit. One thing is certain, I will never, ever compliment Sky Woodward again.
