Think PR is safe from job cuts? Not so fast

Wow, that sucks. Just another reason to cheer against that smug Shanahan and Bowlen. Go anyone who plays the Broncos this year! Beat their a$%^&!

 

Isn't Bowlen the one driving the train to renogiatiate the labor deal because he's short on cashflow?

 

Did the Broncos explain who was going to handle PR for them? I'm assuming this guy won't be replaced.

 

The Broncos recently let their GM go, maybe these were his hires and Shanahan wanted people more loyal to him. Show of hands on how this makes the Broncos better than they were last year?

 

We've discussed it here before: most pro teams are ADDING in-house content, so they can get their propaganda message directly to the fans without those pesky media types getting in the way. That makes this move more than a little bizarre.

Don't know any of the people involved, of course, but I always thought Denver's media website was one of the best in the league. The fans on their message board are up in arms about losing Mason, who put a ton of work into the interactive part of the site. A sample:

Hope everyone lands on their feet. Like the vast majority of the people in the far-too-frequent slash-and-burn threads on this board, they deserved better.

Maybe the out of work folks can get together and write a book about the team?

I cannot believe that an NFL team is laying off employees. This team has one of the longest season ticket waiting lists, right? Are they not selling out anymore? I just cannot understand this. It also sends all the wrong messages to fans and players.

Is this team publicly traded on the stock market? Is there some bottom line they need to keep?

When you are throwing millions at one player, how can laying off a few PR people make a difference?

Wait until a true media circus hits the team again (remember Reeves vs Elway?). Trust me, they will want these employees back.

 

nobody ever said people in denver were smart.
