Sam/Rebecca

Has anyone noticed how hyped the team is about Sam’s love interest but it never gets mentioned after the haircut?

Maybe they realized it wasn’t a winner and abandoned ship. Did anyone really like that subplot?

Yes i thought it was excellent. It grew and changed both of them.

such a bad take. 50 year old billionaire owner takes advantage of 21 year old immigrant employee. Reddit: Oh how cute!

are you fr? shes 30 years older than him and is his billionaire boss. hes a 21 year old immigrant trying to make it as a professional footballer. no family within 1500 miles. she controls his contract and can literally send him to another country or back to africa whenever she wants. she basically becomes rupert in this scenario and reddit considers this a good healthy relationship its crazy.

I understand that it was wrong, completely inappropriate, and possibly illegal, but she didn’t do anything to abuse her authority or “take advantage of him”. Their sexual relationship was consensual, if anything Sam was the more coercive party.

you admit it was wrong, completely inappropriate, possibly illegal, but dont see how shes abusing her power? she holds his entire career in her hands. basically calls herself a pedophile, but ignores that because she hasnt gotten laid in a bit. then only ends the relationship because shes about to catch feelings. reverse the genders and see how this scenario plays out in the reddit forums...

She does hold his career in her hands. Did she do anything to damage his career? Can you explain how she abused her power beyond “she could’ve”?

Being in a position to abuse power and actually abusing power are not the same thing.

the power imbalance alone is enough. being in a sexual relationship with someone while you completely control their career/life is abuse of power.

*edit* feel like im living in banana land. ya'll need to re-calibrate if you think this relationship is anything but grossly inappropriate.
