If you’re a real sports fan, you’ve probably heard Adam Schefter speak hundreds of times. He’s very well spoken. Have you ever heard him sound as uncomfortable as when he’s being asked by @johnkincade why the NFL isn’t investigating Mike Vrabel for tampering? [April 22]. The long pause, the stuttering, the talking in circles, the answering of a question with a question. Remember, if the NFL were to investigate the Patriots for tampering that would be bad for Robert Kraft who owns the Patriots and is a business partner with Schefter. Adam does not disclose that he and Robert Kraft both own stake in the same sports betting venture when he does these interviews or when he tweets. Every journalist knows that disclosing conflicts of interest is basic journalism ethics 101. Millionaire “insiders” like Adam operate under a separate set of rules. These are the sort of conversation the NFL is terrified of, so pass this tweet around and let’s have a dialogue.
