In a dramatic turn of events, popular candidate 'xo juke' has reportedly been abruptly removed from the running in the BuzzerBeater USA U21 manager election — sparking outrage among fans and stirring up questions about transparency and fairness in the process.
Sources close to the situation say that xo juke, who had built substantial momentum among the community, was informed shortly before the end of the registration phase that his candidacy would not be accepted. While official reasons remain unclear, many members believe the decision was politically motivated.
Fueling the uproar is the fact that xo juke is undefeated all-time as a manager — a flawless coaching record that has made him a standout figure in the BuzzerBeater community. Fans are "seriously pissed" that the USA U21 team would turn away a manager with a perfect record, calling it a disgrace and a massive missed opportunity for the national program. “You don’t bench a winner,” one supporter wrote in protest. “This is sabotage, plain and simple.”
As word spread, a significant portion of the fandom reportedly began boycotting the election, claiming that the removal of xo juke undermines the credibility of the competition and disenfranchises voters who supported him. Several users took to forums and social platforms within BuzzerBeater to voice their frustration and refuse to engage in the vote — alleging that the election has been compromised.
Adding fuel to the fire: There are credible rumors that xo juke is now exploring a move to take up a coaching role with the Barbados U21 national team. The shift would mark a dramatic pivot — from a high‑profile candidacy in the USA setup to a potentially bold leadership opportunity in Barbados. Insiders say juke is “very seriously considering” the offer, viewing it as a fresh start after the upheaval.
The fallout is still unfolding. Will BuzzerBeater’s election administrators respond to the backlash? Will xo juke’s departure prompt reform or protest? And how will the boycott impact voter turnout and legitimacy of the eventual manager election winner? For now, the community watches closely — the saga of xo juke may be far from over.
Stay tuned for further updates.
