News – Jamison’s Comment On Accident – San Jose Sharks:
Sharks winger Mark Bell was involved in an auto accident this weekend and Sharks President and Chief Executive Officer Greg Jamison released the following statement.
“We are aware of the incident, and it’s not one that our organization takes lightly. Mark is an excellent young man who was just last season selected as ‘Man of the Year’ for being ‘the player most heavily involved in the community’ by his former team, the Chicago Blackhawks. Our organization has always believed in accountability and responsibility for your actions. We are in the process of finding out the details of the situation and will treat this as an internal matter moving forward.”
Greg Jamison has issued a statement on the Mark Bell accident. Unfortunately, it really comes across as “take this very seriously…blah.blah…hey! a puppy!… blah. blah… now we’re going to shut up until you forget about this….”
Which is being unfair to Jamison (even though, basically, it’s true). I know from my dealings with him and talking to people who know him well that this sort of thing really, really pisses him off, and the Sharks as an organization aren’t a “boys will be boys” type of organization. But this is one areas where I tend to have issues with the Sharks organization: just about everything that comes out of the team (except for Dan and Randy’s play by play) tends to sound like it was written by a depressed lawyer with a case of paranoia. So careful. So crafted. So — staged. I sometimes feel like they don’t issue a press release without at least two focus groups (and I never get invited……)
(but to keep this in perspective, would you rather root for a good team that have mastered corporate-speak, or, well, the Blackhawks?)
