Command it. Don’t demand or beg for it. Speak loudly with low volume. Know when your opinion matters.

@awfulannouncing Commentators: Stop describing athletes in terms of animalistic abilities. Just state what you mean to say without borrowing from the zoo or the animal kingdom.

[Brian Nemhauser @hawkblogger]

❌ Huskies start 5-0, the Ducks still favored on the road

❌ Huskies beat UO, USC, Utah and Oregon St still favored to beat them

❌ Huskies go 12-0 and already beat UO, but Ducks were double digit favorites to win PAC 12 championship

❌ Huskies go 13-0, have best quality wins of any team in FBS, beat Texas a year ago, and the Longhorns were still favorites

There are no better underdogs than these Dawgs.

@UW_Football These computers and pundits had elevated Oregon to Goliath status. How good are we really, if we toppled Goliath twice in 3 months? #PurpleReign

@MsSNWaller @WPRahThroat @marclamonthill Instead of putting him in a TV talent box, try honoring his results-driven style. Black journalists should not be expected to speak monolithically. We’re all diverse with unique strengths. Roland didn’t ascend to where he is to be an imitator.

@marclamonthill @rolandsmartin One day peeps will realize, that Ro’s brain and verbals operate at a higher intellectual level than most. Those sitting across from him on the news set are often seeking exposure. They walk away realizing Ro is seeking accountability & truth.

@RGIII It might be time for you to change your lens. I crossed over to the solutions side and all I tell are the positive stories. When you have the mic you get to flip the narrative.

[Marc L. Watts @MarcLWatts]

@CoyWire @JalenHurts @PatrickMahomes It’s unrealistic to paint with THAT broad of a brush pointing finger at MEDIA. Through my lens I’m privy to hundreds more positive FAMILY stories, than negative ones. The mass media is not a monolithic entity.

@BookofCrusty @WMoon1 If you have to ask, you don’t get it. And therein lies the problem which supports the reason it must be mentioned.

[Marc L. Watts @MarcLWatts]

@vjgvoice @WMoon1 @FarhanLaljiTSN Likely never. It must be mentioned.

[Marc L. Watts @MarcLWatts]

@vikingterritory Irresponsible prophesy of negative consequences. Tell the stories that are real NOW. Not clickbait what might or could happen.

[Marc L. Watts @MarcLWatts]

@Matt_Calkins Your approval of what he says is not required for his validation. HE PLAYED THE GAME. That’s his justification to speak his truth. Your pettiness and cultural unawareness of the athlete-media relationship are the problem.

[Marc L. Watts @MarcLWatts]

@Matt_Calkins U presume Sherm is supposed to fit into your box of how an NFL athlete should talk-that if he doesnt sumthin is wrong w/him. Thats not his M.O. His NFL credentials speak loudly. His words are far more credible than your column. U r NFL culturally illiterate.

@dadornato @RapSheet First of all you have to understand that Twitter is synonymous with complainers. They all can’t be a Vin Scully.

[Marc L. Watts @MarcLWatts]

@michaelharriot All of this will change the day we unite realizing we can own TV networks and treat on-air talent equitably.

[Marc L. Watts @MarcLWatts]

@CornellWBrooks @TiffanyDCross Semantics Cornell. Cross has been labeled “controversial” for telling the truth. Tucker has been labeled “provocative” for spewing untruth. The ‘provocative’ tattoo is positive branding to stakeholders. We know the root of majority culture perception and semantical differences.

[Marc L. Watts @MarcLWatts]

@prosperitynow @prosperitygary And we thank you for your visionary leadership.

[Marc L. Watts @MarcLWatts]

Keep fighting, all you courageous correspondents embedded in Ukraine to tell the truth. #journalism matters

[Clarissa Ward @clarissaward]

This is at least the fourth incident of press being targeted.

[Marc L. Watts @MarcLWatts]

@NicoleSA1913 Gil Scott Heron proud of you Jalen. “There will be no slow motion or still lifes of Roy Wilkins strolling through Watts in a red, black, and green liberation jumpsuit.”(This must be the revolution.)

[Marc L. Watts @MarcLWatts]

@soledadobrien I’d go along with that. The presumption there is a cohort of journalists plotting to spin coverage idealogically towards the left spectrum is preposterous.
