Rumors, especially those that may carry a negative or speculative tone, have the potential to be harmful. They can spread quickly on social media and inadvertently damage the reputation of the players involved. Furthermore, not all details might be verified, and discussing personal moves without their consent could invade their privacy. In this context, the ones you've mentioned could be interpreted in a negative light. Beyond affecting the players' or coaches self-esteem and mental well-being, such speculations might discourage other athletes/coaches from participating or continuing with their commitments, fearing similar public speculations. Each one of your examples has the implications that someone left somewhere for somewhere else, and everyone knows that more often than not moves are for a reason that has resulted from an unfortunate situation like divorce, job loss, community unrest, coaching disagreements, potential recruiting violations and the like. Seemingly more rare are when moves come from people getting/taking promotions, moving for other opportunities (family or job related).
I understand that the intent might have been to share information out of genuine interest. However, it's crucial to recognize the broader implications and impacts that such posts might have on the individuals mentioned, potential participants, and the community at large.
There are many positive things that we can speculate about instead: like what weights will kids wrestle at, rule changes, matchups and others.
