And that was before social media was a thing, so it'd be 50x worse today.

100% my point, yeah. And it's not just sports, but these journalists will piss and moan about coach-speak and vague, politically correct responses... well how did we get to the point where these 21-year-old kids are working with PR consultants and media coaches before they're even out of college?
It's because these chicken hawks that do the reporting can't wait to pounce, put on their Freud hats, then twist and dissect every syllable. And they do that because that's what the readers want.
Coaches will give you some measurable facts like who's starting this week or something. But as for honest thinking and opinion... this is what you end up with. Canned, robotic, meaningless, PC exchanges.
