Hypocrisy in Sports Media

by on 01/17/2010 in MLB Rants

First you wanted every player that used PED to come forward and admit to it. Most of you went as far as saying that everything will be OK. This is obviously far from the truth as you continue to air out more dirty laundry.

Many of you reporters are huge hypocrites. You got what you wanted, but then you writers or should I say “media lynch mob” swarm the guy with more false accusations and bashing. If you don’t like McGwire, that’s fine. But be honest with yourself and let the past go! Unfortunately, the 1st Amendment allows you to exist.

Here are some letters to Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports – one of the biggest hypocrites in the sports writing.

“Your column says volumes about how useless a degree in journalism is in today’s sports. Sounds like you were schooled in the Rush Limbaugh school of journalism. How sad and how unfair.”

“You completely ignored the reason why he did not confess in 2005. You also completely ignored the confirmed statement that he wanted to come clean at that Congressional hearing, but that he was not able to acquire immunity. … And waste your time in 1998? I was enthralled and so were you. Waste your time last night? Why watch then? Why post an article? He didn’t waste your time, he contributed to your financial stability by allowing you to report in a fashion of negativity with the sole aim of humiliating a humiliated man and garnering attention. … At least you don’t get a HOF vote, not because you won’t vote McGwire in, but because in your attitude you wouldn’t vote anyone in with whom you have a casual dislike towards for any mistake they may have made. Hell, would you have even voted for Alomar this year?”

These are two outstanding comments and I am sure Tim Brown will keep on writing more useless articles. I am not a fan, but continue to put out more of the same and maybe Yahoo will finally wake up and have you clean windows instead.
