Of course not, I believe it's because Bill thinks Gilmore is better at press man coverage than Butler and that's a value to his team.
I think I understand what Reiss was trying to say (after reading his apology/explanation), but I don't put much stock in it. Ultimately, what I think Reiss was trying to say was that Bill takes EVERYTHING in to account, even something as minor as married versus single, and that there might be more variables than we know about. When people read that he was saying Butler has off field issues, Reiss went out of his way to apologize to Butler and try to say that he didn't mean it to read that way.
That said, I still don't get the outrage about Butler's ruined reputation. What did Reiss say that has injured Butler's reputation? That he's single?
No, there is nothing wrong with being single - until you make it sound like there is. Then people wonder "Does he party excessively?" (apparently not), "Is he gay?" (I have no idea) or whatever else people conjure up. I personally think there are no major issues and the problem is the contract and the agent - and that Gilmore is more talented. But Reiss specifically implied it was more than that.
