Hi y'all. Yes, apparently someone grabbed this comment and blasted it all over reddit (if it's one of you, PLEASE DELETE the post.) Natu is a reddit user and saw it. Gawd, not the drama I wanted!
Hi y'all. Yes, apparently someone grabbed this comment and blasted it all over reddit (if it's one of you, PLEASE DELETE the post.) Natu is a reddit user and saw it. Gawd, not the drama I wanted!
And please delete any comments or references or whanot, if possible! I didn't mean for this to turn into a shitshow and I assumed the 8 of us here were talking into an echo chamber. I can't share info here if it's gonna blow up elsewhere!
I asked Rifer in Xitter to inquire about the issue and referred to it, but as soon as I saw you'd killed it here I deleted my tweet (xhit, WTF...). Sorry you got hammered for it and hope I didn't contribute.
Still hope that someone like Rifer or Clarke or whoever is covering the Thorns beat asks LeBlanc if that was indeed the case.
What's so infuriating, though, is that the actual legit soccer "journalism" here in the supposed-soccer-city-USA is so fucking lame that no actual journo 1) ran this down, and 2) called LeBlanc to ask about it.
Here's the only pro team in town with multiple titles. The only team with a ring since 2015. And it might as well be playing in fucking Magnitogorsk.
I donтАЩt know what the initial gossip was here and it sounds like I donтАЩt want to, but the fact that we donтАЩt have a reporter and instead things are blowing up on fan sites is so, so poor for a franchise thatтАЩs been historically the best in the country.
The thing is that the initial report was something 1) utterly incompetent and yet 2) I could totally see LeBlanc doing because she doesn't seem to have a particularly strong attention to detail.
And that a bunch of regular fans here heard it means that if there was any real journalism here a Thorns beat writer should have been knocking down doors to ask about it.
And the club - Thorns, anyway - has historically been the WORST regarding PR and getting news out, which makes the lack of a news agency even worse. The club WON'T talk, and there's no journos out there to MAKE them talk...
Well, no one needs to answer, but that sounds like KK missed the RFA deadline after Kuikka went out and got an offer from Chicago to try to force her hand.
But yes, the issue remains lack of pressure on the FO and the inability to ask any real questions.
Kinda but not quite. More inept on KK's part lol. Whew. If you wanna know what I said, send me your email and a promise it doesn't go on reddit lol (or anywhere.)
If you wanna remain happily ignorant, that's fine too!

Sorry, it seemed to good not to share. I deleted the post as soon as I saw the request.

Lol, I appreciate you being smart and getting it right away. I thought STF feed was safe! Woof.

This, exactly.

Real reporting is important.
The thing is that the initial report was something 1) utterly incompetent and yet 2) I could totally see LeBlanc doing because she doesn't seem to have a particularly strong attention to detail.

I think I'll remain willfully ignorant, thanks for doing Ryan's old job though!
I will ask if it is okay to share on other places first.
Appreciated, thank you!
