"a little birdie told me" except it's the Ravens with Andrew finding out from Kevin who found out from Jean who found out from Neil that he 'doesn't swing but thinks Andrew has great biceps'
the foxes as things that actual athletes have done
(i think it's like all hockey - and a lot of it is l*afs-centric) (they all have truth, but some have elements that didn't happen irl). in an au where all foxes went pro (except aaron bcz as a biochem student- if a man's going through all that suffering let him be a doctor)
kevin: liked a tweet of a dude getting pegged, and then in a press conference had to explain how his finger slipped but in a way that 1) makes it seem like he's not into being pegged and 2) does not put down ppl who like to get pegged. (likes are now privated)
neil: post-game, an opponent was getting real close to him and in his face and then on instinct, neil licked him. it got a visceral reaction, so he did it to another guy later on. someone on social media reported that the NEL had a talk with neil to make him stop, and then he reposted that and said 'no they didn't lol'
andrew: during an injury, while in the press box, flipped off a broadcast camera that was on him all game for funsies. it got an odd reaction from other fans and they tried to make him apologize for it. he did not. NEL fined him + changed rules so that the department of player safety could fine players who did stuff like that.
neil: during an injury, while in the press box, was caught eating an ice cream cone without worries while the score of his game showed his team getting blown out + a snowstorm outside the arena. that picture went viral among exy fans and is now a reaction photo + popular sign for games.
kevin: held the conference finals trophy bcz he didn't believe in curses (semi-finals trophy - sports superstition that all trophies except the finals one is cursed so don't touch them), but then his team lost in finals. the next year, he was the furthest away from that trophy, and they won.
dan: when a celebrity fan of her opponent's team prayed for them before a playoffs game and posted it on instagram (and then dan's team beat the celeb's team), she went into their comments and said "not today [celeb]"
seth: got in a fist fight with a fan because after he got a yellow card (sent off court for a sub), the fan began to mock him. straight up began yelling at each other, barriers between the bench and fan broke, and they started fist fighting
matt: broke his stick, took a dropped stick from an opponent, and scored a goal in the chaos
nicky: lost his stick so played with a discarded goaltender's stick for a few minutes and then got carded for 'improper equipment'
allison: beat up a fan with her shoe
andrew: after the trade to neil's team, he was booed every time he blocked a shot/touched the puck when he played against his old team (fans would travel for that game to boo him)
seth: scored a goal with his butt
renee: goalie goal + assist in a singular game. almost got in a fight for the sole reason to complete the gordie howe (fight + assist + goal in one game), but resisted the pull of the dark side somehow
dan: first player in exy history to score three goals off of her face + keeps the game ball in a display case in her home
neil: after scoring one too many goals against the opponent + antagonizing them, he gets chased around the entire court by the opposing team and has to get off court and onto his team's bench to avoid them
allison: the exy ball hit her hard in the nose while she was on the bench (stray hit during substitutions) and a fan mocked her for it. a few minutes later, similar situation and a ball hit the same fan on the nose. allison mocked them back
kevin: has an unexplained and intense rivalry with an opposing mascot that is considered a cosmic being from hell
