So when a team of reporters from USA Today actually goes out and does real, honest journalism, the pseudonymous Gaffer of Free Republic sneers at them.
Yeah, buddy, I've read the rest of the thread. You've made your point and your position quite obvious. Did a swimmer 'steal' your boyfriend in high school?
Your first absurd assumption is that sports media does or can do actual traditional journalism of yore.
Your second pathetic attempt at demeaning me implies some gay aspect which I'm sure isn't lost on you with all the gay buddies this prat has.
What I can't figure out is why all you contrarians persist in defending what he is and putting it in the category of sacrifice, hard work and accomplishment. And, it isn't about 'swimming,' 'buddy.'
