New Rule: Snide and Prejudice

Great Moments in Congressional Hallway History

MilkmanDan says...

I do agree, but on the other hand sometimes these things go well beyond legitimate "questions about your actions / statements / plans".

Subject even the most patient person in the world to enough stupid / leading / clickbait-y questions, and eventually they'll get annoyed with it. Which is of course the entire point, so that they can clip that reaction out of context and run it with a headline like "Watch as Senator X flies off the handle after being asked a simple question!"

Some of these incidents are definitely sleazy politicians trying to weasel out of scrutiny to the greatest degree possible. But I'm sure that many of them are the political version of Marshawn Lynch just wanting to do his goddamn job without being constantly peppered with pointless questions from the media. And we all thought he was awesome for showing up to media days and saying only "I'm just here so I don't get fined", right?

Not trying to trivialize the political arena down to the level of a public spectacle like professional sports, but I think the comparison is at least a little valid.

If you don't want to be a public figure who is constantly questioned about your actions, statements, and plans, don't run for public office. Not one of them was drafted into public service, and they are compensated exceedingly well for the privilege. That goes for both parties.
As elected representatives, it's part of the job to explain yourself any time you're in public, and the halls of congress are public spaces.

At this point i don't think anyone is losing here. As unintentional as it may have been, Marshawn brand is bigger then ever due to the fiasco. As Januari was eluding to, the NFL also benefits enormously in publicity they normally would not get, and due to the public interest in Marshawn the media is seeing more eyes on their coverage of what's happening. When's the last time you have seen so many sifts regarding American Football? The larger the interest the more money everyone makes it seems to me.
