As a complete random, I want to see him win. And there's no way he can like that. I can understand wanting the best for him, but this is a step too far. This isn't ultimately any of our business and we should leave him be. Atlantic and grigorio 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t make sense how he gained this much in a short time, their team nutritionists have failed and that is concerning. Why is he allowed to live alone ? If he lives alone that is. He went from being ripped to over weight, someone needs to be held accountable for that besides himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sometimes it’s good to receive encouragement from “outside” influence. It’s in the same way you can message someone saying “nice goal”, “lift your head up” or “keep it up”. They read it and appreciate it. It’s positive vibes. I didn’t send him what I wrote here which would be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in my mid-50s and I honestly don't think I've ever met a trans person. Met plenty of overweight soccer players though, but none who had a professional career worth mentioning after rather than before entering Fat Bastard from Austin Powers sort of territory. A few decades back players showing up out of shape for preseason training was nothing massively out of the ordinary. Now not so much. Maybe the long off season MLS has didn't help in his case and it's nothing that a bit of running won't fix as happened back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean @Shway , what is your message truly going to do? Is he going to be like "Oh shit, some random fan sent me words of encouragement, that's just the spark I was missing to stay motivated!" 😬 21 hours ago, PiedPilko said: I can understand wanting the best for him, but this is a step too far.

Given all the nonsense and non sequiturs in this thread, at least we can be thankful that @Shway didn't say that he is going to fly to Vancouver and follow Wright around with a tuba. - - - - - I hope he can overcome any health challenges he may have and show Canada that he's got the Wright stuff. 💪 Best of luck to the young man and I hope he proves the doubters wrong with the power of Brampton.

Bison44 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Umm, I think his coaches and team mates have already had a go at him, fans arent going to move the needle. Poor guy prob hasnt eaten anything but chicken breast, egg whites and broccoli since they saw what kind of shape he was in. Either way, he scored..keep scoring and he can work the rest out as he goes. johnyb, Olympique_de_Marseille, Atlantic and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Funny how it’s always something about how PC culture forcing values onto people, and yet in this instance, a Whitecaps prospect puts on a few pounds and suddenly it’s therapy hour for people to share their *real thoughts* on trans people.

canuckgbp Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) No info for a while. From what I can gather, he hasn’t even made the bench so far this season? Have to assume it’s an injury? Last mention of him on Whitecaps 2 is April 2, when he subbed into a game. Edited May 8, 2023 by canuckgbp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckgbp Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Need more info. How has his training and commitment been? Did he arrive completely out of shape and unfit? If so what was his attitude in correcting that? It’s a shame. From so much promise to League1 BC? Turning 20 this summer. I was hoping it was injury related (maybe it still is?) but being sent down a tier doesn’t bode well. NVsoccer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than a couple pictures of him looking big, only playing a couple of games in MLS NextPro, and now finding out he logged some minutes in BC League1, been silence. Would an injury (and recovering from said injury) make sense to send him down a level? Think his social media has been quiet as well from a glance at it. if it was something straight forward you think we would have gotten some kind of update.

He looked at least 30 pounds overweight the last time I saw him for WFC2, and that may be generous. There was obvious bloat in his face and neck. Unless there is an underlying medical issue that the Caps have somehow mismanaged, they are not to blame. He subs on at about 67:40 (game clock) if you want to watch him. The wide shot actually makes him look slimmer. His previous home appearance vs Portland II was much more telling. Bertuzzi44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 No one gains that much so quickly at that level without some underlying issue, the drop is likely cause of that. Something somewhere down the line doesn’t add up… Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
