We’re sitting back and complaining about these tactics but no one pushes back. I agree, the offensive players need shunning and maybe that’s the polite way to show displeasure but it’s gonna need to happen in real time. Just like the insults from TSF to reporters..other reporters should speak up in defense of their colleagues. We’re being pushed around and not fighting back.
