time. It was a running joke. People would bring it up knowing full well he hadn't lost any eligibility then they would laugh at the people feeling like they needed to explain that he wasn't losing eligibility. Someone would bite literally every time. There's never been a more successful troll bait than the squally eligibility.

There was no confusion. It was just a really successful joke.
