On the other hand, Former UFC champion Tim Sylvia believes Foley is seeking validation. He responded to Foley’s tweet by saying, “Do you need validation? If you want to leave, you can leave without telling anybody.”
You do know you can delete it without telling anyone. Why do you feel the need to announce your departure? Do you need some validation or something?
