Olberman is a good example. Rush said sports writers are very lib. The ones in Boston made Ted Williams life hell.
They especially don't like the people who often treat them the way they deserve to be treated -- like dirt.
They're vindictive as hell -- and think nothing of turning their dislike into a weapon against the player.
Barry Bonds was, for example, one of the three best hitters in major league history (steroids or no). I doubt he'll make the Hall of Fame until after he dies, because the sportswriters will hold his disrespect for them against him.
