Basketball Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman sparked outrage during a livestream with popular content creator Neon, where his attempt at offering advice veered into a jab at the Hunters' marriage.

"A 21-year-old young man, what advice could you give me to evolve as a human being?" Neon asked.
"Just don't be Travis Hunter. I'm sorry, breaking news. What the hell? Sorry about that, guys. All this sh*t is real or not; it's fake news."

Travis Hunter married his high school sweetheart, Leanna, in May. This has attracted more scrutiny than celebration in corners of the internet.

Rumors and online digs have followed the couple since before the draft, with critics questioning the relationship’s longevity and motives.

Despite the constant noise, Hunter told reporters in December he treats negative chatter like background static. He joked that he enjoys frustrating his critics.

"I just let people talk,” Hunter said.
“Me, I’m a big troller, so I just troll the internet. I really don’t care what they think or what they say about us, so I just go on there and troll. They talk about her, I post her to make them even more mad than they already are, so they try to find something to hate."

That approach has carried into his early NFL months. The couple regularly shares glimpses of their life online.
