Default Re: Ryan benches Solo for consolation game at WWC

For those in the camp saying that Solo shouldn't say things like this to the press, what is the point of having reporters talk to athletes at all?

The reporters job is to get athletes to say garbage like this. It's the athlete's job to avoid doing so.

It's the reporter's job to be there if/when athletes say stuff like this. Solo doesn't work for the reporter. She could've easily said, "Obviously I'm disappointed in not playing, but it's the coach's decision." Everyone who isn't an idiot will know what she means without totally ranting.

Exactly. The reporter is just there hoping for a decent sound byte. When people like Hope Solo give GREAT sound bytes, that's what stands out.
