  • I don't think either hook would meet WP:DYKBLP given their negative tone and their arguably undue focus. A different angle is needed here. Maybe:
ALT2 ... that lacrosse player Austin Staats works part-time as a firefighter?
I understand that it's actually common for professional lacrosse players to have other jobs, but that knowledge may not be common to most readers and thus may still be considered intriguing or unusual. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 15:01, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
I guess as a lacrosse fan, what's notable to me about him has been his anger issues on and off the field, but I totally get the need to be neutral. ALT2 works for me. SammySpartan (talk) 17:30, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Article is new enough and long enough.
  • No copyright issues found
  • daillycaller.com does not appear to be a WP:RS, despite their claim that "Real News Starts Here".
  • Both ALT0 and ALT1 fail WP:DYKBLP ("Hooks that unduly focus on negative aspects of living persons should be avoided") and ALT2 is not interesting. So we need to find some better hooks.
