UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - Prominent soccer journalist Steve Candelvoss refused to acknowledge a salacious Weston McKennie rumor that was obtained from an unverified Twitter account that referenced a Reddit post that described a translated Spanish Twitter thread that had information that was collected from anonymous German sources as Candelvoss, clearly in the pocket of the US Soccer cabal, stated that he needed verified 1st hand sources.

“I didn’t spend 5 years at college getting a business degree so I could become a project manager for a stroller manufacturer in order to watch you DRAG SOCCER JOURNALISM INTO DISRIPUTE”

Indicating, “We don’t report unsubstantiated rumors,” Candelvoss clearly was carrying water for US Soccer and allowing them to continue to wallow in mediocrity, according to @AORedWhiteBlueBalls on Twitter.

“CANDELVOSS IS PART OF THE GIANT GLOBAL CONSPIRACY,” ranted @AORedWhiteBlueBalls. “THERE’S MILLIONS OF US THAT WILL REPLACE YOU IF YOU DONT REPORT THE TRUTH.”

For his part, Candelvoss admitted that his sources didn’t give him any information that he could use, yet. However, this wasn’t good enough for the online sleuths who demanded that he take matters into his own hands.

“If it was ME, I would break into his apartment and go through his trash,” stated @AORedWhiteBlueBalls. “I just bought a lock pick kit on Amazon and I’ll be damned if a felony is going to keep me from discovering exactly why Gregg Berhalter and Carlos Cordeiro are actually at fault for all of this.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Candelvoss shows his cowardice by only re-tweeting some other journalists sourced reports about McKennie instead of accosting the player physically with a camera crew and microphone outside a training facility.
