I've already said I don't care about what he said so much as the way in which he said it. It was a childish tirade.why? the lady bashed his player for the whole world to see, including all his peers. The least the lady deserved was to be put down in front of her peers. If he was degrading her or being rude to her because she was a woman, that would be one thing. But he simply viewed her for writing an article that she had no business writing in that form, male, female or anything in between.
I'd rather have somebody I can look up to. We all learn to yell when we are infants.I think he did it very well. He never once used an obscenity in his entire tirade. I would love for that man to have been my coach.

I guess I just believe in decency and respect....odd I know....:crazy:I would definitely look up to that man if he were my coach. I would respect him a WHOLE hell of a lot for what he did. He has every right to feel and say what he did.
I also learned to speak in my inside voice as a child. Does that make speaking softly childish?
she's a journalist, that's what they do. They write pieces that will bring readers to the paper.

right, and the educational system always matches reality....That wasn't journalism. It was sensationalistic BS. I'm a journalism major and we are taught to always be ethical when we write anything from an editorial to a report. Something obviously got lost in translation with her. Because what she said was neither factually correct, nor ethical. She needs to be writing for the National Enquirer with stories like that. It's garbage, and the editor that let it come out is garbage.
so, what you're saying is....that I was right? :whistling:
no, you don't get it. I never said she was hitting at the heart of journalism. You said yourself that it was leading to sensationalism and I agree with you-if anything she is in the middle of what is happening in journalism. you may not like it because it doesn't match up with what you want journalism to be-but it's reality. If the actions by Gundy had not been ridiculous then it probably wouldn't be getting so much play.you really don't get it do you? It's not journalism. Gundy had it right, she should be reprimanded for it and so should her editor that allowed to be printed. You couldn't be more wrong. It is not journalism and it's not fit for the newspaper, not even in Stillwater, Podunk, Oklahoma. Just as the pen is the way for the writer to talk to the masses, the press conference is the way for Gundy to talk to the masses.
I never said I had dignity and respect for her, I just think that you should treat people that way.Wait, so you're saying it is respectable (because you have dignity and respect for her, right???) to be an unethical sensationalistic "reporter" in a field that is supposed to be objective?
Right.
