Maybe I see sports journalists differently.  Many fans expect the journalists to be fans and be favorable to the "home team", but that's not the job description of the beat writers and reporters.  I also think it's tough for them because many of their jobs are in jeopardy because people don't want to pay to read the coverage of their sports teams.  Yes, I understand it''s the condition of the market.  However, people seem to want to have coverage and hear news of the sports team, but don't want to pay for that news.

Newspaper writing is a sales job.  

@ColoradoHusk I have no issue with the profession of sports journalism, and their expectation for others to pay for their work. I do get annoyed  with sanctimonious, egotistical way they view their own profession. As a profession, they're some of the most thin-skinned groups I can think of.
