” The environment were in, its nearly like a golf environment where that unexpected thing can … So I believed there was a timing aspect to it,” Boone told reporters, according to the Inquirer. “I didnt necessarily believe they would be able to do anything about it. I didnt necessarily know who or where it was originating from, however it was something I a minimum of wanted to mention.”
