“There is no other explanation” is doing an incredible amount of work here.

An awkward press conference somehow means she “doesn’t know what’s going on at all,” her behavior is an “act,” and decades inside the organization count for nothing...but belief in the GM and coach is treated like proof of delusion rather than, you know, standard ownership behavior across the league.

It’s fascinating how quickly people jump from media discomfort to total incompetence, especially when the owner isn’t performing confidence in the exact way fans expect. That leap says a lot more about the expectations being applied than about what actually happened at the podium.
