Honestly I get enough information about the team from here and hf boards plus the pre and post game shows that I really don't have any desire to see what any of these beat reporters post.

It's news and what is posted on here is just re-posted from the beat writers but on a delay. How many times has AG or TG complained about their personal lives on their twitter accounts? Combined I can only count them on one hand maybe in years worth of tweets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neb00rs Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I have to agree with DM84 here. I rely on NJ Devils beat reporters a lot for news and information about the team and that person has to be good at what they do and mature in order to be tolerable. I'm not an Amanda Stein fan so indeed I don't follow her. I really hope Abbey is good because Chris Ryan alone doesn't quite do it for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the people who are posting that news definitely want (and are receiving) your attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference is on Twitter people show their personality to get more follows. What kind of shoes Amanda shops for on her off days don’t interest me one iota but it might interest someone who gives her a follow and starts reading team related stuff. In that vein I don’t get why anyone else here cares about her non hockey posts, if you don’t like it scroll by and move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can post whatever the hell she wants. Just ignore it if you don't like it and focus on the hockey posts instead.

DevsMan84 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 The shopping for shoes and that sort of stuff doesn't bother me. However, it is silly when she complains about the guy sitting next to her on the airplane "manspreading" and when she engages the idiots who call her fat and ugly on twitter. She should just block or ignore them. Instead she engages so that plenty of our fans can come in and give her attention or guys trying to play white knight to her. Could I unfollow? Sure. However, Chris Ryan is and was often a bit behind on posting up to date news compares to her or AG. Also I have heard mixed things about Abbey's Mets coverage, so AS might be the only game on town for breaking news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that the entire function of Twitter is to get people's attention. Whomever is putting out that news is doing so to get YOUR attention. When people post pictures of a hamburger they ate, they are trying to get people's attention. When a writer posts a story about the Devils, they are trying to get people's attention. Calling out people for their Twitter usage and saying "they're just trying to get attention" is an idiotic statement. That's like looking at someone eating a sandwich and saying "he's just trying to nourish himself so he doesn't die". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, I don't follow anyone on Twitter nor do I tweet, but it sounds to me that some people, perhaps Amanda included, don't keep their feed "professional" and they just post whatever they feel like posting, you know, like all of the other millions of Twitter users. I honestly don't see why that's an issue, if you choose to follow someone, you deal with what they post. If you don't want to, don't follow them. Just like DevsMan84 just said. But to think you should be able to control what other people post on social media because its ruining YOUR experience, well that's just dumb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not wrong, but if Chris Ryan, AG and TG have no issues not engaging with idiot fans (TG did a little towards the end) then why can't Amanda do the same? I know they are different people, but it does indeed come off as unprofessional. Also, I'm sorry but if half of your professional work is via Twitter then try to at least keep it that way instead of looking for sympathy when someone calls you fat on there or whine about the game going into overtime forcing you to stay later.

That's not the point, Amanda clearly CAN do it, but she chooses not to. As long as her employer doesn't care and allows her to, she can do whatever she wants. Whether you enjoy it or not, or whether you continue to read it or not, is up to you. I'd add also that I am pretty sure that CR, AG and TG all have a much easier time than a female reporter has with a bunch of obnoxious male hockey fans. Pretty sure nobody is talking about their fat asses. But when its a girl, everyone feels like they have the right to comment on her appearance. Especially when safely behind the protection of a computer/phone/tablet screen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Both things can be true...Amanda is too hypersensitive to Twitter trolls (to a degree because she has anxiety issues). And Twitter trolls and regular fans are even more judgmental of her than male counterparts. Edited March 16, 2018 by NJDevs4978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's for attention at that point. AG and even TG got hate from time to time. It wasn't along the lines of hating on their physical appearance, but they got plenty of "Hey AG, stop sucking the Rangers c%$@ and write something positive for a change!" and "You are a complete fvcking moron TG" The difference was they almost never responded to it.

She could do that...but she chooses not to. She needn't have a reason other than that. What others think she should do (aside from her employer as I noted above) is irrelevant. It's Twitter, that's kind of what people do on Twitter. You're free not to follow, just like if you have a friend who posts pictures of his stupid cat 150 times a day.
