Jordon Hudson Penned a Sad Resignation Letter to Her Cheer Team, Saying the Media Circus Around Her Love Life Caused 'Erasure of My Strong, Individual Identity'

Ha! Nice one, Falcons! You sure got back at Bill Belichick with this one! LOL. LMAO. ::Rolling on floor laughing emoji::. The shame of the worst collapse in NFL history is forever gone now. The humiliation is now all on the architect of your demise. He'll just have to console himself with his new job where he's the highest paid public employee in his state and his romance with a beautiful young lady. 

What was I talking about? Oh right. Jordon Hudson. And relationships. And sacrificing some of the things you love in order to foster the relationship that matters most. At least I was the other day:

Well as it turns out, passing up the opportunity to Paso Doble her way into America's heart was not the first life pursuit Hudson gave up in order to come to Chapel Hill and help her man build UNC's football program into a powerhouse. It was only just the most recent:

TMZ - Jordon Hudson penned an emotional letter to her cheer team after making the decision to quit … and in the note, she issued an apology to her squadmates for all of the hoopla her relationship with Bill Belichick caused.

                   

The message -- which was obtained by The Washington Post -- appeared to be sent this past winter … 

She expressed sadness over having to make the choice -- noting her romance with Belichick and the subsequent media circus that surrounded it had caused her to deal with "a slow exterior erasure of my strong, individual identity." 

"It is so difficult for me to give up my time with you," she wrote, "because I feel like I am giving up a part of myself in the process."

                   

She added that she was sorry for all of the "baggage" she had recently brought to the team due to her newfound fame.

                   

"I know none of you asked for that," she said.

She went on to thank her friends for being there during the "difficult period" of her life … before she extended an invite to hang with her in North Carolina.

Look, I get why many are skeptical of this relationship. May-December romances tend to turn rational people into cynics. The public has given the side-eye to Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Al Pacino and his baby mama. Robert DeNiro and his. Anna Nicole Smith and J. Howard Marshall:

But there is no greater sign that two people are in it for the long haul like giving of yourself the way Jordon Hudson has. She obviously loves Cheer. And her teammates. But when the media circus was having a negative impact on her squad, she chose to give it up rather than hurt the team. In the end, the "slow exterior erasure" of her "strong, individual identity" was too much to bear. So she opted to go to North Carolina, support her man, and help make Tar Heel football great. 

And it's beautiful. Like George Bailey sacrificing his hopes and dreams so that his family and everyone in Bedford Falls would be better off. Jerry Maguire giving up being a player agent because only Rene Zelleweger can complete him. I think it's every stuffy, stiff, upper crust British guy played by a good actor who falls for the American chick in every movie I've never had to watch. Except this is real. 

So go ahead and keep scoffing. The hopeless romantic in me will not stop in my belief that these two kids are destined for greatness, on and off the field at UNC. Cheerleading's loss is football's - and true love's - gain.
