They are just people with journalism degrees who probably weren’t intelligent enough to be political reporters so we’re cast off into sport.
Then the ex-players who have played the game should be the better group in the media but they, to a man, have almost no intelligence at all. They can barely string a sentence together, never mind actually bring out articles with intrigue and insight. They are just bottom feeders reaching out to other dullards at their intelligence level.
They are, on the whole, know-nothings. I have no idea why so many people hang on the words they write and say.
