“Unless a reporter is in the area,attends training camps, practices and has day to day access to the players and coaches I dont expect much insight.
The question is, why WOULDN’T ESPN assign someone to cover the team who has or is willing to live where the team is and report on the team. A Seahawks reporter with no physical connection to the team is an idiotic premise in the first place.
“It's really up to ESPN to determine if Blount deserves his job or not... As long as Blount hasn't done anything wrong (besides posting some mediocre articles), I don't see why there should be a petition to give him the boot. You can always find other news sources like I have.”
We’re not asking Blount to be fired. Go read the petition. Being removed from a position and being fired are actually 2 different things. Lateral movements for the sake of productivity are a very common workplace event. We’re asking for him to be removed from his attachment to the Seahawks.
“at least do something worthwhile like a petition to remove Skip Bayless' vocal chords or something.
this is pathetic.”
Pathetic is you taking time out of your day to complain about how other people spend their free time. Pathetic is not asking ESPN to find someone who actually has an interest in football or the Seattle Seahawks and letting them write about the team.
“I don't care much for Blount's work, but wouldn't even think to try to help him lose his job. “
If any of you people actually read the petition instead of jumping on the “complain about your fellow 12’s” bandwagon because you have nothing better to do, you would see that Terry Blount losing his job is NOT the point of or even mentioned in the petition.
The entire purpose is to put someone in that position who CARES about our Hawks. I don’t care whether you ever read ESPN or whether you only read .net. For those of us that do want to read ESPN along with all of our other intake of the Seahawks, we would appreciate someone giving some effort.
