In many cases you (and others) are quick to judge both local players and management on their internal hiring decisions without having any context or knowing anything about the person (other than what a quick search on the Internet shows). We know nothing about why they were signed/drafted/hired. At the same time you defend the "localness" of a journalist and spin it as an advantage yet you know nothing about the guy. I guess it fits your narrative.
The only person spinning narratives to fit their argument here is you. This is such a ridiculous post I shouldn't even bother to respond to it; there is one, and only one intention of your post and you know exactly what that is, the word starts with a t and ends with an l.
Alright, let's begin here:
Please quote where I make any arguments in my opinions based on the localness of players: "judge both local players and management on their internal hiring decisions" as you implied. That is not an argument I use nor care for, you're probably confusing me with somebody else, but too lazy to bother verifying.
Also, correlating the decisions of a pro-sports team who has been shown in the past to have trouble drawing and retaining UFA's, to the integrity of a journalist is 1. a massive strawman, and 2. completely irrelevant. The fact that this even needs to be stated is shocking.
We know nothing about why they were signed/drafted/hired.
Please show me where I ever claimed to have internal knowledge of the sens signing/drafting/hiring decisions.
At the same time you defend the "localness" of a journalist and spin it as an advantage yet you know nothing about the guy.
Once again, I don't argue anything about the "localness" of players/management, so your strawman is completely irrelevant (as all strawmans are in the first place) in relationship to me.
Second, Ice-Tray was trying to spin the fact that the journalist has previously written for the OC as though this was now a conspiracy. I questioned him why having local roots is somehow a negative, and surprise surprise, he didn't bother responding. Now you come in here trying to claim hypocrisy, so much so that you laughed on a bus (don't believe that for a second, or you have a very strange form of humour) when the two cases are not relatable in any logical scenario. The decision making of a professional sports team and the integrity of a journalist are in no way, whatsoever, relatable. How you can even claim the use of localness in these two situations is hypocritical is as I already stated completely illogical and laughable.
To sum this up, your reply brings a certain scene from Billy Madison to mind, I'm sure you can figure out which one. And to make this clear: I don't use the locality of players/management as part of my arguments and the fact that you have singled me out and went out of your way in an attempt to insult and belittle me because you were under the impression that I do, is a good indicator of your character and personality, and it isn't pleasant.
