Syracuse Skipper Lopez Blasts Media Over Bad Press
Monday, April 26th , 2021
Scorpions manager, Ricardo Lopez, had some choice words for the Syracuse media today. "Whatever happened to journalistic integrity?" the Scorpions skipper asked during a live radio interview. "No one cares about reporting the facts anymore. It's all about sensationalism these days. All you guys care about is selling newspapers and driving up ratings. And I'm getting pretty damn sick of it." Lopez seemed to be referring to recent stories that have suggested the Scorpions struggles as of late have been the result of off-field distractions.

One article, which accuses Derek Moke of numerous "extracurricular indiscretions", has been a particularly sore subject for Lopez. "What players do on their own time is their business, but to imply that any of my players aren't giving it their all on the field is absolutely ridiculous," Lopez said, "and to make these kinds of accusations against someone without any proof is just plain irresponsible!"

Team officials had no comment when asked about Lopez's remarks.
