Why is everyone so mad at Melvin Gordon?

When Nathaniel Hackett said in Wednesday’s presser that Melvin Gordon would get the start at running back, Broncos Country seemed to have a meltdown (at least the drama-seeking corner on Twitter did).

The entire situation was boiled down into essentially one, not-so-accurate narrative - an assumption that Gordon had been benched, then went to the coach to complain about it, resulting in the new, young head coach caving and naming him the starter.

If there’s something I despise about modern-day journalism it’s that narratives - which can be vastly different depending on who is telling them - become the actual stories.
