"We still need a leader..."
To be precise, both Li Wei and Hunter shared the same stance, but their focuses were slightly different:
Not only did they need the running backs to unite as a powerful group to overturn the prejudices of the League with their performance on the field, but they also needed a leader who would stand up, raise an arm, and confront the team and the League.
Only in this way could the disadvantaged status of running backs be changed in modern Football, which is dominated by passing offenses, and perhaps even alter the composition of offensive strategies.
Both elements were indispensable.
The difference lay in that Li Wei believed in building momentum first, relying on the collective strength to create a situation, and then pushing leaders to speak out, whereas Hunter thought there was no time to lose and that they should seize the opportunity to support Bell in applying pressure to the team now.
