Moments ago, the Philadelphia Flyers issued an apology on Twitter for, as they called it, "disrespectful remarks" by members of their social media team.
Flyers President of Hockey Operations Keith Jones issued a statement in which he apologizes for remarks that were apparently made towards a media member by members of the PR staff:
"Earlier today, our team's social media account streamed a recording of a virtual press conference which included disrespectful remarks by members of our social media staff. On behalf of the entire Flyers organization, I want to extend our apologies," the statement from Jones read. "Any disrespect towards reporters is completely unacceptable, especially when they are simply doing their job. We have reached out to the reporter and outlet personally to express our regret, and will continue to promote an environment of mutual respect when working with media."
