re: How do we feel about beat writer Tom Green?

Tom Green is fine. He does solid work. He falls into the modern sportswriter camp of "I have to have these views and tweet certain things that every blue checkmark tweets or I'll never get the next big job" but can you really blame him? He's just trying to earn a living and that's the world we created for ourselves.

He CAN do solid work.

As the original poster mentioned, Green inserts his own personal stuff too much recently.

And before I go further, it is sports related, because we want to read sports, not personal stuff shoved on us more often, scattered around his sport reporting.

For Green, there is an app that pulls in certain AU beat writers tweets that allow us to keep up with current sports info on AU or athlete articles.
In the past 4-6 months it was posting Green's dinner selections w/ photos b/c Green was posting them in his twitter account.
The other day, he posted an opinion on his dislike for conservatives and critical of the Senate leader McConnell on going ahead to select the next SC justice. Totally political. The problem is, the sports app is picking this stuff up from him and sharing it.

I don't want my sports writers to give me their personal opinions on non-sports. If I want that, I go to CNN or Fox News.
