Rogers said after the game: "Obviously, we are very grateful to be paid attention to. But once we lose, I will probably receive 9 million death threats. This (emotions on the Internet) is very polarizing, and I am used to it. . Social platforms are an important part of business cooperation and contract requirements We have to release something.
