Jamie,

In your case you wouldn’t be a spokesperson for the Red Wings, but the instance that frustrates me AND reporters would be if you were hired to give information to reporters but could not be quoted by name as a spokesperson.

I understand the entire Social Media and transparency card but I am an USHER for a different company (Olympia Entertainment) and am not allowed to be a spokesperson (Detroit Red Wings) because I don’t work for the Detroit Red Wings. This is where a fine line is drawn.

I don’t even get the kind of pay which merits this but at the same time I would am and followed by the hockey community and seem to know what is going on. So I guess that is where the problem lies.

I can always count on your comments to be subtle and nuanced. Usually right on target, and delivered with the tact of Kenny Powers.

I’d like to speak on behalf of the company, but I can’t. Not because I’m not allowed to, but because I really can’t speak. I have my head shoved so far up my ass that it’s interfering with my vocal cords.
