Winning is. Would be nice to hear a little about football. Why not ask fans about attendance, since they're the ones either showing up or not? Why not dig in to the issue with the Administration? It couldn't have anything to do with the type and amount of coverage provided in the Tampa Bay area media, so don't interview yourself.

Every week she tries to bait Frost or a player with a question about the Presidential Race or the tense social issues going on right now instead of anything about Football. The former beat writer was so much better, he now covers Orlando City 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left the Slantinel for Chicago nearly a year ago and has been replaced on the Orlando City beat by Alicia DelGallo. Edited October 11, 2016 by Who'sYourData?

I don't care for ucifers coming on the board either, but there are a couple that aren't too bad. Also, the new dynamic is to commiserate with and not be so openly antagonist. Things will go back to normal either after the BXII decision, or in November as our game approaches. For now we must take a tolerant position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was very tolerant compared to my normal responses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new media has their click-bait and outrageous headlines, and traditional media feels forced to compete. It is the sad state of affairs right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respectfully disagree that attendance isn't important to players. I would imagine looking up into the stands and seeing and hearing a large crowd has to be a real morale & adrenaline booster for the players. Of course winning is important, but I think a good crowd in attendance is as well. The quoted players are being nice in their responses, they are not going to come out and directly say they are disappointed in the fan base...although I would be ok with that.
