How Wary Should We Be of Online Sports Rumors?
Social media is both a blessing and a curse for players and sports reporters alike. Players can show off their skills to the world like never before, and coaches can key in on players that might have gone unnoticed otherwise.
But with the positives come the drawbacks. False reports can spread quickly and can lead to fans and reporters struggling to find the truth.
The most recent appearance of this issue happened recently with Deionte Thompson, after a report came out regarding an injury at practice. Aaron Suttles takes aim at these false reports, and also encourages fans to be careful where they get their news from.
As always, remember to listen to The Suttles Approach weekdays from 12 to 2 PM and listen to the full take above!
