Reporters want raw emotions and the ability to catch somebody slipping.

Hey man, I know the game just finished. But tell me what you were thinking when you dropped that pass on 3rd and 3.

Describe to me how you feel right now after just losing the super bowl, ten minutes ago.

This should’ve always been a thing. The last thing you need in a professional locker room is middle age white men in there.
Shots fired at all the middle aged white male teammates across the league

Well you wouldn’t get a lot of quotes from the players they people repost if you didn’t get them from locker room interviews. So there’s that.

Don't players have to do podium interviews also? Can't the media wait until the dudes are fully dressed?

I can only really remember 2 of these that actually provided anything other than the usual cliches.









Even people in the media have long realized it's stupid, as seen in this skit.

They don’t have to do podium interviews. I mean they don’t have to talk to media in the locker room either. You have to talk to whoever says yes or whoever they provide. I mean cameras aren’t in the shower with them lol. They’re definitely in the locker room though and I definitely understand players that might have a problem with it. My solution , have the media wait in a room near the locker room or outside in the hallways in front of the locker room. Some players have good relationships with certain media folks and don’t mind them being in the locker room as long as they aren’t on no creepy shyt. That one dude being called out that works for the 49ers(I think) seems to be on creepy shyt. You can make changes without having to totally kick everybody out of the locker room situation

Jemele saying they’re terrified of being caught is funny. Not making the players uncomfortable, or the act itself feeling inappropriate, but getting caught doing it, cuz she gonna look :pachaha:
TO showed us how things really are years ago. It can get crazy in the locker room :whoo:

Other side is maintaining that this access is somehow vital to "storytelling".

You can do this in a designated area after the game. In soccer, there is a spot set up for post match questions.

Hoyt’s next tweet says that:

Might be an unpopular opinion but athletes shouldn't be obligated to speak to the media or do interviews. I understand why they are but I don't agree with it.
While I understand this, I think they would prefer media coverage of their event and crafting narratives for them to get endorsement deals. You can’t do those without media. They know it too.
