rivera closes practice to media...

[XClown1986]

Rivera might be giving them a huge ass reaming today and didn't want to be a direct quote in the paper. You always spank your child behind closed doors so no other low life has an opinion about it.

It sucks, I bitch too if I was the local media.

it sucks for them that they can't do their job...or at least they have to find another way to do it.

this is my first time online today and i haven't looked at twitter but i can only imagine that they are saying the same thing they did before...that it's a slap in the face of the fans that supported them through a 2-14 season yada yada yada.

meh...good for the panthers. i like knowing what's going on, but i'm fine not knowing. gives me more time for things that are really important. i can wait to find out what the panthers are doing.

It's not like we get anything worthwhile from them anyway. I can live without. Do what you want Ron.

If 10 reporters are a distraction then we're fugged on gameday.

I had access to practices until now and don't mind the decision. I can see cam and the other young players having the media in the back of their mind during practices. Now they can just be themselves without worry. It may be a dozen people, but they represent thousands of people who will hear their views. Gantt should realize that.

happy about this. hopefully the coaching staff tore into these guys and proved they will not be push overs

[bleys]

media have proven to be enough like savages for anyone not to give a fug about their opinion on the issue.. /thread

Gantt needs to focus on Winthrop volleyball.

[carolinarolls]

young franchise begat immature fans and clueless media

Makes sense most of the people on here don't care about the media...the information they provide is rarely read, since we get people who can't spell names or ask what happened to so-and-so and don't know the team worth a damn as it is.

I see your point. But the media can still do their job even if Rivera closes part of practice. They're just butthurt, its that simple.

90% of what the media presents to the fans can be summed up in a 1 week report..

needless to say following twitter comes off like Joe Person just reposts Steve Reed's tweets...

"Practice about to start, Rivera standing out on the field"

"Rivera standing out on the field, practice about to start"

"looks like Rivera is still standing on the field"

"Rivera still standing on the field"
