You miss the point. I literally don't give a shit if he was invited/not-invited/RSVP'd/declined/crashed the wedding and pissed on the wedding cake. It doesn't matter, at all. Pietrangelo was a great D for us. The team chemistry was great when he was C. We won a cup when he was C. The team could have all unanimously hated his guts. It doesn't matter.
People are just looking for excuses to pile on to prove Armstrong made/didn't make the right decision in not offering Pietrangelo what he wanted in his contract. But these assumptions based on a few photos from off-season weddings are literally meaningless.
No excuses are needed. The only thing you need to do is look at stats and admit that Faulk @6.5 is > Pietrangelo @8.9 or what ever it is he got.
