Message: [QUOTE="hjoerring, post: 4054156, member: 3630"] So you would rather psychoanalyzed her and the team.Head bang I'm not even going to address the (in)appropriateness of the question at hand. Rather, I am annoyed at the extend to which journalists have been allowed to borrow a specific mode of questioning/interrogation from psy/med into the public/general realm. How do you fee....; what is it like when ..., etc. We may call it the 'feeling states...' The problem with this line of discourse is that it infantalises US. What could she have said?-- I felt terrible. there is a suicidal watch. Who cares, it's only a game. it's going to make us stronger, tomorrow-- a little of this (sadness) and some of that (we are a better team already)? Having watched some of these 'opened-practices', pre and post-games, they usually leave me wondering why the newspaper not send students to do the coverage. Do they lack respect for college students. For themselves. Task at hand. I can count how many repetitious questions and how quickly they follow from the last one. How many times a student had to say-- 'like I said....' The Uconn players who are send out are usually well prepared and, its an injustice to have used their time for unprepared reporters. Phee had even a better take down than CW, and Anna M when asked about playing so far from home and family snapped: this was not my first time living away, etc. (I'm not some pre-HS kid). [/QUOTE]
