      Of course he was targeting the NFL. If he was targeting Blackstone, the news would have to talk about who Blackstone is.

      Feels weird with how little information is in that article they also mention the NFL. If that’s the case, targeting the NFL should be the lede and she happened to be collateral damage. This almost feels like wild speculation just to misdirect the news from another CEO possibly being targeted. I’ll doff my tinfoil hat for a bit but something smells fishy.
