I keep coming back to this weekend’s latest twitter drama of #ATLUTD fans v @BarstoolSam. I don’t think a single person called him out specifically for anything he’s said or done other than the fact that he works for barstool, which, as a company... 1/4
is seen as an extremely problematic company for a club that proclaims “soccer for all” to associate with. I honestly think the reason it got so heated is that he went back into everyone’s mentions and started arguing with anyone who made anti-barstool comments, and then... 2/4
later said that OTHER PEOPLE were making it difficult for him to do his job and be taken seriously as a soccer reporter because big clubs wouldn’t want to talk to him.

DUDE. If you want to be taken seriously as a journalist, (1) don’t work at barstool... 3/4
Take your talents somewhere else and you’ll immediately see your doors open when you don’t have that brand staining your content. (2) Don’t act like Taylor Twellman and start arguing with people in your mentions. People hate him for a reason. You can do better. 4/4
