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

[93gilmour93]

No need to be so triggered by the Flyers issuing an apology.

I’ll try. Thanks for the support

If your only job is to not be an asshole, it’s kinda pathetic to be fired for being an asshole.

Or somebody else's perception of one

Well, I’m not an expert on Public Relations….

Why would you post your own meeting regarding a media scrum anyway?

I'm a NYC product of the 60s and 70s. Tact is not what I majored in on the streets and schoolyards of Bensonhurst

Cool

I don't see the big deal here. Sounds like a Flyers PR staffer got caught on a hot mic saying stuff everyone says behind closed doors anyway. Apology made, moving on.

No real need to discuss egos, 'respect' and all that. PR/comms staffers are often every bit the primadonnas that reporters are..probably because they're recruited from more or less the same pool of people anyway.

I’m my line of work we aren’t all delicate flowers and have no problem talking to each other like this because we never take anything this serious.

You can call it getting bent out of shape but I call it finding it amusing with all the fake rage over nothing burgers like this story.

A lot of this would probably be cut out if you actually addressed points that were raised to you instead of skirting every point and kicking the can down the road by saying how superior you and the people in "your line of work" are. I'm curious to know why you haven't actually answered the prompt of what line of work you're in.

There are definitely statements in every business that would be an issue. There's nothing wrong with admitting a fault man-to-man and apologizing when a line has been crossed.

There is good and bad on both sides

Sounds like the song Ebony and Ivory

Admitting an error is so beta.

 

[Sol]

if true then I agree with that dude for asking the same stupid questions repeatedly

 

[Mike C]

Sounds like the song Ebony and Ivory

Yeah, I'd let Paul watch my kid but not Mike

Good and bad indeed!

 

[JianYang]

The comment itself isn't outrageous except the last place you want it coming from is from your PR team.

The flyers basically had one reasonable option on how to react and they took it.

 

[Lt Dan]

Yeah, I'd let Paul watch my kid but not Mike

Dude, that's Stevie Wonder

I can see where a blind person wouldn't be the best babysitter, but still a better option that Mike

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Stevie Wonder was great at watching kids:

Of course, this whole "episode" brings up another issue entirely...

 

[Mike C]

Haha. Shows you just what an idiot I am

Paul did some other equally heinous song with Mike. Guess I merged them into one forgettable happening instead of two

Hey, there's nothing weird about this.

Somehow “yeah, that was dumb. Anyways…” has turned into 8 pages of weirdos pretending anybody cared about this whole event. I have yet to see anybody in this thread being sanctimonious or white knighting anything. Nobody as of yet has given a single shit about this blip of a goof except for all the dorks spouting their favorite conservative bumper stickers for whatever reason. Bunch of grown men that can’t handle hearing about even the most basic, perfunctory apology without throwing a fit. It’s pathetic.

Except the fact that Mike is wearing a baseball jacket and looks semi manly for one of the last times

And oh yeah, Paul is wearing that sweater that everyone's grandma gives out at Christmas

My favorite part is the one where apologizing is a beta move. Real men in real men work never apologize.

What was said? Anyone know?

What’s the backstory?

Torts was on twitter ….

“Why do you have to be so pissy?”
Jim Matheson, Edmonton Journal to Leon Draisaitl after Leon answered his series of questions succinctly.

”Hey Spec, can I talk to you?” MCDavid to Sportsent reporter Mark Spector after a press conference, where it’s been suggested that CMcD tuned him in over his approach to players.

Both reporters are notable spoon fed primmadonas that turn on players who make them earn their living.
Examples 1 and 1A why some players hate talking to the media.

Don't think anyone is going to top when Jake Voracek called out Mike Sielski. Another case where the reporter absolutely deserved it because he was a notorious prick.
