That's interesting (and I stand corrected)...
I went to https://twitter.com/osctoday
You went to https://mobile.twitter.com/osctoday
The non-mobile site defaults to Tweets, which is where I took my info from.
The mobile site defaults to Tweets & Replies and shows the insides of conversations.
However, even with that added content, it broke down into three main areas:
(1) Trying to keep the story of the players not being paid on the front burner
(2) Debunking the over-inflated to-the-NFL stats
(3) Debating the definition of "successful"
No opining though. Mostly just pointing out the facts and repeating the experiences of players who haven't been paid.
Anti-FXFL? No.
Harsh truth? Yes.

Bottomline it's not retweeting ... So now that we have that in agreement
..
It IS opining
@FCSScout If the FXFL needs tryout cash to make it to year two, they are wasting their time. Too much red ink.
11:18pm - 21 Jan 15
@to2471 @AbramsonPBP @FXFL Except most/all would have had the shot anyway. There are many hundreds of NFL transactions during the season.
@The_Pamperziaz How successful is the @FXFL when it cancelled its finale and players complain they're owed money?
3:34pm - 29 Dec 14
...
And all the posts have a negative bias. At the end of the day it's their twitter so they clearly can post what they want, but negative it is. I wonder why?

Being that OSC is a site dedicated to Minor League & Independent Sports. Is it wrong that they are retweeting the negative FXFL stuff? I'd think not as we as a whole want to see these leagues succeed. Not leave a paper trail of unpaid bills and embarrassing histories.
I have an idea. FXFL pay's it players, retweets stop? Maybe even a retweet about a bigger, better plan? We shall see.
Personally, I'm just glad that OSC hasn't began covering the NAFL or "New USFL" yet. Talk about "If's", "And's", and "Maybes"...

Adios, OSC message boards. (2007-2017)
A factual statement. If they have no money and need emergency cash from tryouts, then how will they be able to pay for year 2?@FCSScout If the FXFL needs tryout cash to make it to year two, they are wasting their time. Too much red ink.

Opinion but based on too many facts to go over here. More players from Foot Locker (Chris Matthews) played important roles in NFL games this year than from the FXFL.@to2471 @AbramsonPBP @FXFL Except most/all would have had the shot anyway. There are many hundreds of NFL transactions during the season.
A valid question. No opinion.@The_Pamperziaz How successful is the @FXFL when it cancelled its finale and players complain they're owed money?

Because there is a lot of negative and nothing positive except for the odd player being signed to the off-season practice squads.And all the posts have a negative bias. At the end of the day it's their twitter so they clearly can post what they want, but negative it is. I wonder why?
Perhaps the league should issue a statement saying that they are aware that some players have not been paid but they are working hard to secure financing to both pay the players and be ready for next season?

Thats not the OP question nor the intent of my asking
Understood that people have opinions but a site expressing one thats diff

Just my two cents here but why would it matter if OSC gives an opinion from this site anyway? Whether that is on this site, the social media sites or any other OSC affiliated site. You can both report and have an opinion on sports. Sites do it all the time. Look at some place like Bleacher Report. Perfect example. They give you both facts and also opinions. Last time I checked ESPN does the same. What does it matter??? We are talking about reporting on both factual and reported rumored information. It is not like OSC is going out and throwing first hand random statements around. That is what WE do here on the forums!

In reality it doesn't except that 4th gets upset when the big meanies say bad things about his favorite league. He just wanted to know which meanie was publicly saying bad things on Twitter under the OSC account and trying to get them to stop it by using the (specious) argument that as a website account, OSC should only be posting promotional tweets.
