Connor Buckley is a former college soccer player turned esports star. Last night he flipped open Twitter, where he has 42,300ish followers, to ask the Arizona Diamondbacks if they could give him an update on how his roommate’s date was going.
The Diamondbacks, perhaps in a playful mood or perhaps wisely chasing the clout of affiliating with a popular account among the youth, actually obliged.
What happened next is that the blossoming love story of two wonderful young people was interrupted by the intense scrutiny of being put unexpectedly on display, and now we’ll never know what could have been.
Kidding, kidding. They seemed cool with it and the internet got a kick out of it so let’s watch it unfold, shall we?
