that.
I also doubt MB would tell Whit this because what if neither of the young guys looks any good and then they have to re-sign Whit?
I meant "cover up" as in realized he shouldn't have brought it public (IF MB said it) and didn't want it to cause a shitstorm. Or if the team asked him to delete it and play it off as a joke and he did so. Or Whit could have overexaggerated a conversation he had with MB and then decided to not go further with it. I don't know, just throwing out the possibilities.
I also don't know if MB would tell Whit exactly that either, but as I brought up before, he could have made a comment that Whit didn't like and it got exaggerated and turned into the short lived mess that it did.
I don't know what really happened either, we can only go off of our own opinions by looking at the facts that surround the situation. There is a lot of room for guessing here, I have a hunch that it's not as simple as "My wife decided to randomly make a 'joke' about something controversial even though we've never done anything like this before", but again, I could be wrong and over thinking it.
