Flyers apologize for “disrespectful remarks” by their social media team towards reporters

[Devonator]

Who cares...we live in such dumb times that everyone take offense at so little!

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

As a member of the PR team, wtf were they thinking? Ultimately an apology is not necessary but it shows the organization is trying to keep goodwill with the community. A reporter is going to repeatedly ask a question if it hasn't been answered and they have the time.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Who’s the reporter asking the question?

 

[MikeyMike01]

A flyers staff member said “how many times is she going to ****ing ask that” in response to a reporter asking the same question many times, that’s the whole story.

Journalists are people with no talent or skills of any kind, but massive egos who think their opinions are very important.

Whoa man those are the defenders of democracy you’re talking about there. Where would we be without inside info on where Kessel gets his hot dogs?

Wow, what stunning and brave insight.

...too easy.

 

[Ouroboros]

Just how many times did she ask that question?

Sports journalists, yeah pretty much in most cases

 

[joestevens29]

Nice backdrop. f***head taking questions from the shitter?

Called multi tasking

Get shown up/humiliated in public, not even worth an apology according to some of you.

 

[Rob Brown]

It's more that it's just super unprofessional and makes the Flyers social media/PR team look a bit bush league rather than people being 'thin skinned'.

Do we even know if Philly media people are offended and threw a fit? Sounds to me like the Flyers just realized they f***ed up and apologized, which is the normal thing to do.

 

[Sky04]

That's it? Wow.

Very similar to the average HFboards poster in many regards, especially what you listed.

On the list of unimportant opinions, this is near the top.

 

[Bleak]

Offensive and uncalled for. He should just shut up himself. Unlike her, the dude isn't going to have a job anymore. Yea, it's a bit of a loose statement to apologize for, but when you employed by a logo you do have be careful of inflammatory remarks. The Flyers have a brand and have a lot of eye's on them.


The 'thin skin' remarks is just promoting unnecessary hostility within hockey. Offensive remarks shouldn't be accepted no matter how minor when there is something that is clearly defined.

 

[Oscar The Grouch]

I'll assume anybody who doesn't think this warranted an apology hasn't ever been employed.

 

[DearDiary]

Never apologize publicly, only privately to the individual. Just say that the remarks don't represent your companies opinions, you will look for ways to improve company culture through training and make sure a situation like this never happens again.

 

[Sorry]

On the list of unimportant opinions, this is near the top.

Except we don't get paid to post.

 

[RememberTheName]

Obviously unprofessional, warrants an apology, and should be fired. But got damn if his comment wasn't so accurate maybe I'd even feel the slightest bit bad for the reporter. They have to step up their game.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

To be fair it was a completely worthless question. It's laughable that so many advertise themselves as 'proffesional writers' 'Journalists' when all they do is repeat the same jib-jab hackneyed questions and toss it into voice-to-text for tomorrow's article. Like the other dude said, completely ego driven industry.

AI soon

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Eagles would tell people to eat a sock if this happened.

 

[al secord]

You'd think sleazeball reporters wouldn't be so sensitive.

 

[Roomtemperature]

I guess were all bored so we have to get pissy cause someone made a perfunctory apology after committing a mistake

You'd think sleazeball reporters wouldn't be so sensitive.

It's was a bog standard apology that has happened since he Dawn of biz but yeah let's make a mountain because you have a chip on your shoulder

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

The only greater injustice to the hockey media than criticism of their work is an understocked buffet table.
