Gordon Monson was deeply offended by Bronco quoting from the BoM in his first press conference, and he never forgave

AND, Bronco shut down practices and severely limited press coverage so local media didn't like that either

And Whit followed suit, but pretty much never took much heat over it. Now it is just accepted practice.
