\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The fans are all upset,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Lucas says. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re always going to be upset. \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWhy did he do it like this?

I wasn’t gonna even link this, and I don’t have the energy or interest at this point to muster a robust and blustery “fuck you, Lucas” diatribe.
