I think it's a south Asian broadcaster? The Pens have embraced the popular Bonino call, and seems like Crosby saw an opportunity to grow the game among a group that isn't much catered to. I don't know that it's "precious" but it's a smart move.

blessing them with his boring-ass interviews

I'm sure the broadcaster can turn the interview down if they think it'll be too boring.

Who's going to turn down an interview from Sidney Crosby?

IDK, I agree with OP in that the tweet reads condescendingly.

The reporter's tweet, or the totally random ass fan whose tweet is getting posted here so we can all call her an idiot?

MTE.

The random ass fan and/or anyone else who would congratulate/commend him for talking to an Asian broadcaster as if that's some kind, cute, benevolent thing.

ayrt

What is the point of dragging a total rando who isn't even in rpf fandom here on meme though? Do we really have nothing better do or discuss?? Sure, it's a dumb tweet, but twitter is an endless breeding ground of awful tweets, and this particular one isn't even in the bottom 50% in terms of awfulness.

It's in the fandom venting thread. It doesn't need to be justified.

So what is the point of you talking though? We just don't know.

NA

No, actually it does need to be justified. Calling out random stupid tweets individually is no better than spam. We'd be here all night and all week and all month if people started doing that. It also would be incredibly weird and maks you wonder if the OP has a fixation on this person or otherwise knows them irl.

I at least thought they were calling out the Seth Rorabaugh for his stupidity, not the tweeter-on-the-street, and I still hope that was the case.

+ a million to this entire comment

If a media person says something dumb? Sure, make fun of that. But boy do I not care about dumb random tweets. Have you guys never heard "Don't read the comments"? Twitter is an entire platform of them.

A different beat reporter said it was a Chinese broadcast team? And although "precious" is maybe too much, for full context, this was a request made after his media scrum was finished, when he was about to leave the room. He has been known to agree to those in the past, so I'm not sure he's specifically thinking about growing the game or anything, but he does also makes a point to be especially accommodating with certain requests (media from Nova Scotia, meeting kids, etc.).

Literally what does this comment bring to the conversation we are having? You have contributed absolutely nothing. Congratulations on being utterly useless.

na

They were providing more info about the situation? Are we supposed to focus on what an asshole this random girl on Twitter is instead?

So they're contributing facts that don't mean anything, don't add to any argument. For what purpose? To demonstrate their deep desire to know about the ins and outs of Crosby's life down to his bowel movements?

ayrt

Other anon said it was the Hockey Night in Punjabi team and they had heard it wasn't, didn't realize all meme discussions needed to meet a certain standard of quality and newsworthiness.

didn't realize all meme discussions needed to meet a certain standard of quality and newsworthiness

Meme would have like a quarter of the volume of comments, lol.

da

It contributes more to the conversation than your comment does? Literally what does your comment bring to the conversation we are having? You have contributed absolutely nothing. Congratulations on being utterly useless.

lmao witty

Nah.

Did you see the point as it went over your head?

What is the point? That there is a dumb Pens fan on twitter? Wow alert the media, this is brand new information, etc. It's clearly a direct response to speculation made in the comment it's replying to.

I'm fairly sure I've seen their tweets brought up before on meme, so I'm guessing they have something of a significant presence in twitter fandom. That or someone needs to stop hate-following.

I'm pretty sure the punjabi broadcast team works from studio in Canada so I don't think it would be them.
