Now Launching: The Media

Breaking news, I can’t stand anyone shoving a microphone into a professional athletes face twelve seconds after they broke the sound barrier in a 400-meter sprint. I don’t care what they ate for breakfast, or smoked for dessert. If it’s not a performance enhancer no one cares what they’re doing, and if it is a performance enhancer they should be out of the game until they can test clean. No need to crucify people, no need to name names, sports negativity has to stop. The media has to stop placing young athletes on pedestals just to knock them off with the slightest infraction. Now I’m not saying that Alex Rodriguez isn’t a clubhouse cancer, or a baby, but he’s also a natural athletic talent and unless he’s testing positive for anabolic steroids today, I don’t care, I don’t want to hear about what happen in 2003, I wasn’t even legally allowed to drink in 2003, I could barely vote, a lot has changed, get over it. This retroactive media focus on things that are no longer pertinent has to be ended. Top Story: The Romanovs were murdered by the Bolsheviks, come on people, old news. Keep up. People make mistakes, they smoke pot at frat parties in the south, but if they’re wearing 14 gold medals and you’re not, maybe you should shut up. Sports Journalists and media personalities need to be taken off the air unless they can manage to incorporate some fabric of truth and pertinence into their incessant broadcasts. I’ll take John McEnroe over Barbara Walters any day. Obama is not the messiah people, even he did coke. We’re launching anyone who’s running sound bites of Michael Phelps’ million apology followed shortly by the octuplet woman.
