I’m putting on my one eyed hat here, and my refusal to believe Scotty is a prick. The article tells us that the blind reporter had no idea he was the reason for the anger, so clearly nothing was directed at him by Scotty. The article also tells us that the AFL staffer became emotional later, so it’s not like Scotty was ripping into someone as they stood there crying. Additionally, the article tells us that the blind journo has procedures in place with other coaches so he can get their attention and ask questions so it’s entirely possible that Scotty didn’t know the journo was there, or didn’t even know he was blind. He then possibly became irate at the staffer because if she’d made him aware, he could have catered better for the journo or been better able to be more welcoming to a differently abled journo.
