2032-04: Talons Team News Boycott Continues

[jiminyhopkins]

Phoenix, AZ--

The Talons have been horrible this season. In fact, they have not yet recorded a winning sim thus far in 2032. Sure, Carlton Winson has hit some home runs, and Ignacio Rodriguez has struck out some opposing batters, but everyone sort of expected that. The rest of the team has been a load of crap. Maybe everyone expected that, too, but it seems to have come as a surprise to the Talons front office staff. In fact, you could even make the case that they have genuinely lost interest. For just one example: Normally the team puts out a series of articles at the beginning of the year as a team preview of sorts. But in fact, since the season has started, literally nothing has been written by the front office. In addition, the club released this bizarre statement from the General Manager earlier today:

"We will continue our Team News boycott as long as the team sucks. And from the looks of it, that will be a long, long time. We really don't blame the fans for losing interest. Frankly the team is not that interesting to watch, much less write about. We would expect a few sarcastic replies to this article featuring a few 'sad violin' smilies, but we don't think anyone even reads these besides the bots. The BBA Constitution says that Team News must have 'at least two solid paragraphs of original, owner-created written content.' So by the end of this quote we should be able to meet the minimum. In fact, we plan on meeting the minimum the rest of the season. Not sure what that is, exactly, because the criteria appear to have changed for participation but we can't be bothered to look up the thread where that was explained. What ever the minimum is to keep a team, rest assured that the Talons will do our best to meet it. At least the fans can count on that!"

Weird, huh? Oh well.
