This is now the world we live in....

Welcome to the world of public opinion and insatiable outcry for immediate information. Or rather, the internet. Now apply this to the thousands of public companies that operate daily and sometimes have things go wrong unexpectedly or even right unexpectedly.

Imagine the fuel to the fire that people/readers/trolls/etc add daily to that companies reputation. Will this trend continue? Should that CEO be fired? employee reprimanded? Did the PR people spin this the right way timely enough? This is one of the downsides to the information age. You have to sift through the sauce to get to the meat and potatoes.

Sometimes, too much too soon can blind good judgment. Think about that the next time you make a sports bet, trade/purchase a stock, buy a certain product, make judgement of a franchise or athletic institution. Give things time, Good or bad, the truth will usually rise to the top quickly enough to give favorable insight.

You responded to my post, which isn't the response I was looking for. I know the rules and expectations of this board.

Did you have any other conversations than with former players, who in all likelihood were not at this specific workout?

Would you have the same response if a loved one of yours was one of the 12 hospitalized? I think you would want some sort of answers from someone other than former players.

Miller touched base with some former players to see if this was out of ordinary was it that hard to understand.
I'm guessing that its not real smart to be bothering the recovering kids at his time. Maybe give them some time and thingswill come to light as to what the real situation is.
Funny thing is the OP chastises hasty journalism and provides hasty conclusions just like you.
Be patient and get the facts and quit throwing more fuel on the fire. Unless of course that is your real goal.

I find it disgusting and pathetic that there is this insatiable need for news RIGHT NOW.....regardless of the subject and regardless of whether or not the people involve deserve to have their privacy protected. If no news comes out, people feel it's okay to just make it up as they go along on the small chance that they might be right and they can virtual-pat themselves on the back for a job well done.

Um, didn't you also start a thread criticizing the University's media relations for this? They didn't really have anything to share.

I'm guessing there were some upperclassmen around, which would make it difficult for the younger guys to say anything. In any case, 100 squat routine sounds excessive even for a SEAL.

Yes, and yes.

And posting on a message board about this need for news RIGHT NOW being disgusting.
