Mark Schlereth made headlines after saying Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson suffers from toxic positivity. That is a new term for most people, and frankly I’m guessing Schlereth was using it in his own sense. It’s a curious phrase, even I not entirely a mystical one, but he elaborated on his comments on his Stinkin’ Truth podcast.
“I honestly think that Russ has been sold a bill of goods by the people he surrounds himself with, that the teams that he’s on have limited him”, he said when asked to explain what he meant by Wilson holding himself back through toxic positivity.
