NEOMG

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
FWIW, writers rarely write their own headlines. It's usually their editor.
 
Who cares? Does this really bother you fuckers?

Sit back and enjoy the spoils of life. We are very lucky to live in Cleveland as basketball fans...

This situation will never happen like this... It's never happened in modern sports like it has here... Ever.

Enjoy the ride.

This has nothing to do with the reporting or coverage of the team, which is what this thread is about.

It also has nothing to do with our enjoyment of watching said team. If we don't think the reporting is up to par, we're free to gripe about it.
 
took me a second to figure out what NEOMG stood for
 
Chris Haynes committed libel against Dion Waiters. He needs to offer up a public apology and not a "clarification". That was an irresponsible article and the NEOMG and the PD need to act. Quite frankly, he may need to lose his job. Poor poor journalism.

Re: Kyrie Irving: 2014 All Star Game MVP

Trolling small market teams and cities is a unit mover for ESPN. The big markets read it, because they want the better player. And the small markets read it, because they don't want to lose the better player. Add into that, everybody who has never been to Cleveland thinks it's a joke, and you have the perfect storm of sports media trolling. (...) The rest of it is a truckload of conjecture, hearsay, rumor, and horseshit, and if you read it, or talk about it, you are eating the horseshit.

This isn't libel at all, Haynes had direct quotes from Dion. A player wasn't on the court for the national anthem and the starting lineups being introduced, so a reporter that covers the team asked where he was.

""It's because of my religion," Waiters told NEOMG. "That's why I stayed in the locker room."

So... Haynes needs to be fired because he reported exactly what a player told him?
 
My friend pointed something out - maybe someone with a better understanding of the Muslim faith could clarify. Is it possible he simply skipped that particular national anthem due to evening prayer? He only offered a quote stating why he missed that specific national anthem, never did he state he would skip them ALL due to his religious beliefs.

Maybe libel is a bit strong, but his first article led readers to believe Dion would be skipping the national anthem for religious reasons. In reality, he missed it once because he was praying. The writer made poor and dangerous assumptions. At best it was poor journalism.

He assumed waiters would miss the anthem every game from there on out when waiters thought he was talking about his pregame ritual, he probably should have been more explicit in his question
 
You all need to slow your roll on Chris Haynes...

Dion Waiters made direct quotes that were quoted. Just because Dion spoke like a moron when he was probably being short doesn't mean he can decide that it didn't happen and hope people listen to him after the fact...

Dion, in fact, is committing libel against Chris Haynes... Quite frankly, it's bullshit that people in here are taking Dion's side because they like and know Dion more...

I don't like NEOMG as much as you all, but it's not because Chris Haynes wrote something Dion wishes he hadn't said.
