Did Rhule lie about Newton?

Hold up, we've now reached "Cam is being blackballed" territory? Wow...just wow. 

He's not being black-balled per se but something akin to the Hot-Crazy Matrix just might be in play...

...for some reason Cam is in the No-Go-Zone presently.

A full explanation from the founder of the concept can be viewed here:

He should have said they dont want him or like him and dont expect anyone else to either.

I look at it this two ways:

1) What did he tell the fans? (and bohoo that your feelings are hurt because he didn’t tell the fans everything going on. That is just normal for every team and company, so grow up)

2) What did he tell Cam and his agent? This I don’t know at all, maybe it could have been handled better, but none of us knows what was said. Cam’s agent (I think Bus Cook?) has been far from a “nice” guy in the past representing other players

You could potentially be upset about 2 above if you have any insight. But not about 1.

Ok, you are hired as the CEO of a company.  There is a bit of controversy-an upper-level district manager, one that had good results over the past decade but the company seems stuck in the mud of mediocrity, is possibly not part of the future plan.  The district manager projections are not escalating--in fact--they are predicted to wane.  The district manager, a person you will have to work with as you rebuild the company, sends the stockholders a message, insisting that he is not appreciated and that he wants a salary increase of 50% of his current salary.  That is how the company will show commitment to him.  You are new, and the board of trustees is not sure how to handle the situation, but the fact that they hired you is part of the company's actual commitment: one of long-term growth vs. immediate stabs at success.  Nobody doubts that the district manager has/had the skill to be good, but they doubt the fact that he is still a fit in the corporate restructuring plan.  You have been told that the corporation was going to move on from the district manager, so you start considering resumes.

A reporter sticks a camera in your face and asks you about the district manager's future because rumors are swirling.  Everyone is trying to get you to speak out--to show a card so they can break this story, regardless of the preferences of the corporation.  Do you tell the truth?

A: Hell No.  You say something positive about the district manager and change the topic.  He is currently under contract, so at the moment, he is your district manager.  To say anything negative or even give a "no comment" only inflates the situation.  It is a "no win" for Rhule--the new guy---to be asked to answer questions about a situation that he was hired to change.

I had something very similar typed out, but used a salesman as the reference.

It's really not that hard to understand....if you have worked in any industry where big money is in play.

Probably would have been better.
