Panthers Team Beat Writer steps down

[PleaseCutStewart]

I mean... having to be a beat writer for this shitshow of a team would probably make me want to quit also...

[frankw]

She probably got tired of polishing the turd that is the Carolina Panthers under the Tepper's on a weekly basis. Eventually it must get tiring typing up lies you don't actually even believe. Good for her.

[Proudiddy]

Damn, sure seems like instability is a constant since Tepper came on...  even with the beat writers.

[KatsAzz]

I never heard of her, not that it matters.

[PghPanther]

Most likely she was in in a social media communication PR position with the franchise which is an entry level positive for many sports/communication majors out of college. 

I had a nephew work one of those in the NHL...................Rush Limbaugh had his first job in the media doing PR for the KC Royals in MLB....

Those jobs barely pay a living wage and if you are single work for a while as you try to climb the ladder.......my nephew couldn't afford to live alone and had to find a roommate to pay the bills...........for some they get to rub shoulders a bit with the players and other higher profile media type which is where they hope will be their ticket out of the "paying your dues" position they are in.

If you take a job like this with a NASCAR team they send you out on the road with a body shell look alike show car and you sit out front at a sponsors store front and hand out discount flyers to shoppers as they ask dumb questions about a car that often doesn't even have an engine in it.......

In other words the job sucks.............and nobody knows you are doing it.

you have to start somewhere and if sports is your passion I imagine getting your foot in the proverbial door of a nfl franchise could be rewarding down the road

Nah, this is a journalism job first and foremost. Their social dept is separate

If you go to the Panthers.com website she does all the news updates for them

That's exactly what my nephew did for an NHL team.....being a sports junkie and working in communications it was a dream starter job for him.....but once meeting a girl and wanting to get married he couldn't wait to find a job that paid a livable wage.

Right but at the entry level there is some overlap in that...........PR can often mean sending out new releases aka journalistic duties as well.

Darin Gantt possibly propositioned her for some hot sex 

[LinvilleGorge]

Tepper was probably paying her like $27k a year.

I wonder if this paves the way for Caroline Frazier (formally Cann) to come back. She left to go work for the Colts when she married Parks Frazier, but now that he's on staff I wonder if she would come back?
