That shit is wild and unacceptable. Compared with even 20 years ago, let alone 50, access is much more limited and more controlled now. Now athletes and their obsequious, overprotective handlers are going to get away with this? No. There are a ton of non-answers in news conferences and locker room scrums. You learn how to deal with that (rephrasing, working around, etc) but to just be able to not answer a simple question? That's totally inimical to the dynamic between players, journalists and consumers of both their products.
