Did the Athletic go overboard on Belichick story?
NBA ratings down
Did the New York Times-owned The Athletic go overboard on the Bill Belichick story with his girlfriend at UNC? The North Carolina football coach, 72, has been dating 24-year-old Jordon Hudson for close to two years now and she is showing up at spring football practices. The website’s interest was piqued when it became public knowledge Belichick wanted Hudson copied on certain emails an NC administrator sent to the coach. That started the deepdive.
Belichick and Hudson have certainly made no secret of their relationship, as she constantly posts on social media and they appear at various public events. Because UNC is a state university, The Athletic was able to obtain 44 pages of emails under an open records request.
The emails do not reveal much, but Belichick, who used to guard his privacy closer than the U.S. guarded Ft. Knox, is out in the public eye, dating a woman almost 50 years his junior, who is suddenly showing up at his place of work and receiving copies of his emails. Of course, the story is fair game. What say you?
