In brief: Freya Von Doom: On Oct. 8, the performer posted an observation from her inbox: “I love when players on the same team hit me up 👀 I always wonder if they know their teammates are trying to smash too… 🤔”
Team chemistry is a big deal in sports. Freya Von Doom has reason to believe some teams are more in sync than they realize.
On Oct. 8, the performer posted an observation from her inbox: “I love when players on the same team hit me up 👀 I always wonder if they know their teammates are trying to smash too… 🤔”

She didn’t name a team, a sport or a single player, and that’s the right call. The joke works without anyone’s name attached, and we certainly won’t attach any.
What she’s describing is a situation that’s half comedy and half group project. Several athletes from the same roster, all sending the same performer messages, each presumably thinking he’s the only one.
It raises questions the team’s front office would rather not consider. Do they compare notes in the locker room? Is there a group chat? Does the coach know?
Pro athletes messaging adult creators isn’t new, and stories about DMs from famous men have become a genre of their own on X. What makes this one funny is the coordination problem. The players apparently don’t know about each other, but she does.
Her winking emoji and the thinking face do the editorializing for her. She’s not mad about it; she’s curious.
For the teams involved, whoever they are, it might be time for a talk about communication. Great teams share information, after all, and these guys apparently don’t.
The scoreboard, as far as we know, stays private.
