Chuck Strouse Banned By Miami Heat
Due to disrespect to team owner Micky Arison by the Miami New Times, repeatedly.
Happened before i started freelancing for the newspaper and its website, but the fallout was evident while i had a desk available there for my work throughout my full tenure as I licensed them photos, words, and videos from 2008 to 2015.
Strouse, as editor, was purse owner non grata at all Miami Heat events by order of team owner Arison.
Youtube was new and instagram was not invented yet when i started there. Very interesting time.
Just one of many funny stories as I got to view the fall-apart era of the alternative weekly newspaper industry, leading up to the notoriously low public approval rating for the journalism industry today.
I had not seen, heard from, interacted with, or talked to Strouse in any way since 2017, when I had to call in some factual errors he committed in the obituary of Fresh Kid Ice. He is no music writer that's for sure. So I was surprised to run into him at a historic event I was invited to which is what reminded me of all this hilarious stupidity in the first place.
Stay tuned.
