FINAL thoughts on the @Internetinvite … buckle up … SPOILERS @Saliimthedream did maybe one of the most selfish things I’ve ever seen. Getting as blitzed as he did was unacceptable. “He’s only 23” is a lame excuse for his behavior. He’s a grown man. Honestly, I expect nothing less from anyone associated with @nelkboys, as this is pretty on-brand for them. Salim should not be brought back to the tournament. He single-handedly ruined the ending to an event that was otherwise incredible. With that being said, I’m happy he decided to become sober after this. That’s a huge step in maturity, and I hope he finds his peace while taking accountability for what he did to @Bigjohngolf and @ryanwhitney6. Shame on @barstoolsports and @bobdoessports for allowing him to get that drunk. You enabled what happened by not stepping in when it very obviously needed to be done. Content simply cannot be more important than someone's dignity. I get that no one is his keeper, but you let a grown man make an absolute ass out of himself because it was a funny angle to play drunk. All it would have taken was someone stepping in and stopping it. Based on the editing, that doesn't appear to have happened. Maybe I'm wrong. Good on @stoolpresidente for not allowing him to continue driving. @FatPerez33 is a BAD BAD MAN. Dude is an absolute stick. Credit to @RiggsBarstool and Bobby Ray as well. They played great when it mattered, and the win was well deserved. @BarstoolBigCat great rulings in that final.. it was honestly hilarious.. #appealdenied It's a shame this is how the tournament ended. Big John and Whitney had a chance to compete for $1.3 million, and instead, they had to deal with this. An otherwise incredible event deserved a much better ending, and those two deserved better than having their moment overshadowed by someone else's selfish behavior.
