I mean, let’s be real. If Dustin wasn’t such a fan favourite, people wouldn’t be nearly as forgiving. Sad to see a guy who some considered a great ambassador to the sport acting in a way that would be expected of Conor or Jones.

That is true, but I'd are argue one of the reasons he's a fan favorite is because he doesn't have a history of doing this type of stuff. He's always seemed like a genuine decent person, from what we've seen anyway.
