NYCFC in the Media Thread - 2019

We just lost our beat reporter for the Athletic. He's making it out that there wasn't enough money to carry a reporter for each MLS team in the NY/NJ area. But he also does say that NYCFC's attitude towards journalists didn't make it easy to do his job. We all knew that, but someone finally came out and said it. Got to respect him for that.


he was still in the athletic? i thought kristian dyer was the nycfc/ rb beat reporter for the athletic

I’m sad when anyone loses a job.

But that’s horseshit on his part. It’s not the teams purpose to help you with your job. He’s a fake ass journalist with fake sources. I was shocked he got the job and I’m shocked he lasted this long. He’s an absolute joke.

Guys like Dave Martinez have struggled getting work. That’s who the Athletic should have hired. Araos was a step below NYCFCfan when they hired him.

Whatever you think of Christian, and I know a lot of people didn't like his work, it's bad for us as fans to have fewer people covering the team. Especially when he was basically the only person willing to not be a club mouthpiece.

did he really criticize though? the only thing i remember was the whole nazi people in the stands, and that was it. other articles he wrote ( that i remember) it was just regular stuff of team nothing really contrarian to FO.
 
I literally have no idea who any of those people are. Except for David Beckham of course. Why would this be a big deal?

we aint young no more, i dont know what the kids listen to these days. MLS is geared towards the younger generations either way.
 
Sheck Wes is an up and coming artist out of Harlem. He's well known with the kids. Thats unfortunate but we can't associate with problematic behavior. Hope he gets help.
Also Prince Royce should have been representing us since he's from the Bronx.

I was at a conference last week and a younger coworker intoruced me to something called mumble rap. My ears bled.

New guys couldn’t hold a candle to biggie and Tupac.

I think that it largely depends on who you’re listening to. Due to the internet nowadays there’s a lot more variance in rappers. Also this generation of rap has just begun Tupac and Biggie made entire careers by their death.

I will take Tupac’s 5 best songs over the entire catalog of Drake and Lil Wayne

Thursday vs. Cincinnati
Wednesday vs. Seattle
Thursday vs. Houston
Wednesday vs. Toronto
Wednesday vs. Atlanta
Sunday AT New England

Six matches at least only on streaming. Bullshit. This problem won't change with a soccer specific stadium.

Only silver lining is that 5 of 6 are at YS and most of us will be there, but it doesn't help with the perception/growth/visibility of the team in the area.
 
I tweeted about it as well. Schedule wise we’re there no other options but to play at those time and days? It almost smells of a fix.
