Sad state of sports journalism

I can’t even read the crap they put out any more. Sports used to be written by people who were actual writers. Think Myron Cope, Dick Schaap, Roger Kahn. These people had journalism degrees and then specialized in sports. Now it is a degree in communications, and we have people who can’t spell and put a coherent sentence together. I guess that sports journalism got stupid because the rest of the country did.
The latest puff pastry crap today was that the Mets “could” acquire Oneil Cruz. No mention of who or what they would give up to get him. I suppose the Pirates will just magically give him to the Mets for nothing.
I also read that the Mets, Cubs, and Yankees were going to trade for Mitch Keller. I think it is even up that the Pirates will hold on to Keller until the winter meetings, when he would bring more. The guys on expiring contracts like Icky Falafel are the most likely to be moved now. Heaney and Pham are in that category. They won’t bring much because you are getting only half a season of them. A blocked minor leaguer is the best you can hope for.
Anyway, the writing, if you can call it that, sucks equine testes.

 

Two many talking heads with nothing to do in an over saturated market. They really write and talk about some dumbsh!t.

 

This is going on in many parts of society today. Sad

 

You, yes YOU, could write an article, on your opinion and pure speculation, about any fairly well-known player, and it would get picked up on every social media outlet, online news service, and 'insider' blogger/pod caster/beat writer in the universe, just for the clicks it might generate. NO ACTUAL CONTENT NEEDED.
