You'd rule against your own team. You have.
You'd rule against your own team. You have, out loud, in a room full of people wearing the same shirt as you, and it cost you something every single time — and you did it anyway. That's the read. The Eye reviewed your full record, not just the football: you tell your best friend when they were actually the problem in the fight they're retelling. You gave the award to the better project even though the worse one was yours to protect. You correct the story even when the wrong version flatters you. Fairness isn't a mood for you — it's load-bearing. Take it out and you're not sure the rest of you stands up. People learned long ago that your praise can't be bought, which is exactly why it's the praise everyone secretly wants. The cost runs quieter: you're the one who says the true thing at the table, and the table doesn't always thank you. Some nights you'd love to just be a fan — biased, screaming, certain. The whistle in your chest won't allow it.
