Haggerty, CEO of PRCG | Haggerty.<\/p>\n<p>Haggerty added: \u201cIt is interesting that while the White House medical team\u2019s response to President Trump\u2019s COVID-19 diagnosis was our worst-handled crisis, sports-related PR responses were more represented than in past years \u2014 not surprising given the shutdown of the industry for months and all of the PR issues that sprang from that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Haggerty is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=rR11B_oxmBGFaXHRl7FxyHq5OppvU6scwg2oMz9FR-vGpqDq_meJ6g3j7eD4tQdRUU6ohRvuKmuxF2Kneja_v3j7B6Q-mx8DUdjTESszQpWvsAyAz7p2zBzjlSLF7OJZC_gJUSLrsQwjeaBGFvHaAUoo6YWgMDAFb1FVXI820NPU-yJEVdpY2iAmskwLpf9W153nOdo9QGdUqxHcItU7kA==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">author of two well-known books<\/a> on crisis and legal communications: <em>Chief Crisis Officer: Structure and Leadership for Effective Communications Response<\/em>, and <em>In The Court of Public Opinion: Winning Strategies for Litigation Communications, <\/em>both published in new editions in 2019 by ABA Books.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the top five worst and best:<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>THE TOP FIVE WORST<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>1. <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>The White House Medical Team<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>White House doctor Sean Conley led several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=fwhWfZBrDlpmUvYlJpvIIEMSt1bOmXYSHlzc6vdic8gbKAP3_Q8hx3D0sabHXZB8LloTQuMQVCh1xELWvVr45k3bvXWgGTl5GOvCn2-5GlTxZthnFgAdkixyyzvZvndAdAOmQqPypppyeHxoJ9cirw==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">disastrous press conferences<\/a> in front of the hospital where Donald Trump was hospitalized with COVID-19. The physician and his team broke nearly every rule of communications during a crisis and were severely selective as to the information they would divulge about the president\u2019s health. A bad situation quickly became worse.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>2. Washington NFL Team<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>The professional football team formerly known as the Washington Redskins had two major crises this year: continued uproar over its name, which it finally, belatedly agreed to change, and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=ESc6EKXhpQnCVM7op06oNeua4Bi_PhIsAUTbX91BjOoUYkUhaPc7sjYpWLOl5_xDKazOCkjjWsiMb_XKFxEpN1RcMKfjFmE0dIPRHEPY1qr8a4zSwPY5a6q6KQRDXAhSNsjWRVOCNnr_JOIKmcjBWfJjATl4LDGRSv6JMtYLZ9A=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">sexual-harassment problem<\/a>, which, alas, is not unusual for sports teams.

The biggest was its argument that it never actually said a prototype truck in a promotional video was moving down a hill of its own volition. At least founder Trevor Milton resigned as chairman.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>5.

After a backlash, it decided to return the $10 million loan it had received, which it announced in a 2,000-word LinkedIn post. It was a smart crisis response.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>5. Airbnb<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>With the pandemic bringing tourism to a halt in March, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky made \u201c10 years&#8217; worth of decisions in 10 weeks\u201d (as he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=YKyzeBL4dxmLMV_v1RsYF3-sX9l3iyotXT1SJJJ3j5g5TY96-UNArRM2wDm1s2pzi5dViG7_-zeDix2esFvwyrtA3v93FNHTKJfehQMARMrP84M90Uuh2OctqZ1H7Ekl93-CzUQdi6hoSz08ZuhlVw==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">put it<\/a>) that earned trust from hosts and customers alike.
