God this story pissed me off and it has NOTHING to do with what your politics are , or your ideology, or your hot button issues. This headline and the following story shows off the WORST what the ******* sports media does to us on a consistent......and maybe the media as a whole.
First they make up as story “reportedly” stating that Tom Brady (among others) would be speaking . Now this is based on NOTHING but speculation. They do this without ever even asking Brady (or the others if the story is true). However it gets repeated by other sources (like PFT) and pretty soon it’s getting reported as FACT.
THEN the jackholes in the media have something to comment on for the next week or so, and the haters and supporters on both sides wade in with their comments and the whole things runs it course.
NOW, a few weeks later comes the equally made up story that Brady ISN’T going to speak at the convention and once again it gets picked up by the media and the whole cycle starts again. By the time I read the story it had over 60 responses
When are we going to stop being click bait for a self centered media who think THEY are the most important people in sports. When are we going to stop being the fools who fall for this tactic time and time again. (the most recent example was Volin's unsupported pure speculation that Lombardi was forced out by the Pats even though BB was in his corner).
Are there really THAT many stupid people out there who will constantly fall this this purely self serving tactic, and begs a bigger question for @Ian. Why the F is Volin's social media link STILL running at the top of our forum page? What does that idiot have to do before he gets "banned"?
