Phil Castellini surprised that Opening Day tickets still unsold

I hate the apologist crap. It gets so tired when the line is used. I’m not an apologist. Speaking to the public about private business dealings is like politics. There’s going to always be a certain level of BS that goes with it. Your examples IMO were general statements that fall under the BS that the vast majority of people in such positions regurgitate. It’s GM speak. I’m interested in specific out and out lies not GM speak has a certain level of BS type stuff.

If you're okay with lying after asking when have the Reds lied, I'd argue that's pretty much a picture-perfect example of being an apologist.

YMMV.

Fwiw, any interaction with the public could be considered general BS statements. I find that troubling, to say the least. Tell me the truth or be prepared to be called for lying.

And they are lies. We know that. You've admitted it. They're just not lies you find objectionable.
