If NFL players started beating up pressholes during interviews and sports broadcasts, their cred with the true sports fans would go way up.
To hell with freedom of the (sports) press.
I think the answer here is the LMSM attracts as many gay sports reporters as gay weathermen. Where else can they hang out with locker rooms full of athletic males, and not be bothered by icky women hanging around? That’s where their liberal ideology comes from — sports reporters are mostly closet homos.
It’s like asking why there are so many gay priests. “Can’t ever have sex or get married? Cloister myself with men and boys? No problem — sign me up!”
