Do you know why alerts go out so often for that stuff, or reporters tweet information constantly?

Because views = $$$? If something is free, you're the product. They don't care if you're informed, they just want you to click it, that's why we get awful articles written at a 10th grade level.

But when reporters can't report what's going on at open practices on the football field that are open to reporters and the public...that's ridiculous.

Would you prefer they just banned public access? I'm sure the reporters have plenty of other things they could be doing. But idk....going to an OTA to tweet about dropped passes and calling that a days work seems a bit...lazy? I get that's their job, and admit I wouldn't know the first thing about how to do it. But it seems like if the most you can come away from your day with is "Tyrod Taylor got picked off by Eric Striker in a non-contact practice" you might not be very good at your job.

If you report that Sammy Watkins dropped 5 passes in practice what does that help? The only thing I can think of that results from that is hundreds of preteens that didn't even go to the practice going to his Instagram and telling him he's the worst receiver ever and telling him that we should've drafted Odell. Which, as we've seen, seems to piss him off.

From u/jaramini above: "It makes me think of a band I was in during college. One day the weather outside was beautiful and our lead singer wanted us to rehearse our set outdoors. We got into a huge blowup because we really needed practice. And most of us wanted to practice in our rehearsal space - if we practice in front of a crowd, they're not gonna know we haven't practiced in weeks and that we don't normally sound so shitty. You shouldn't be "on stage" while you're at practice."
