Let it be known that this writer is not a fan of the Washington, D.C. NFL football team. I am a fan of another NFL franchise... the one the main object of this missive I am biased and I reserve the right to be because that is the way of the NFL!
And so... with that said, I have a huge complaint about the Washington, D.C. sports talk scene. It has to be the most negative, anti-good vibes, mean spirited sports symbiotic relation in the nation. Morning, noon and evening... the complaining, the focus on the injuries of the players, the refusal to talk about the good aspects of the teams, the incessant focus on racial issues that divide the players from the owners from the fans, the misogyny and the refusal to give Robert Griffin III any ownership of his own body.
Every day, during the mid-day hours, a certain section of Washington, D.C. talk radio is obsessed with every thing they perceive is negative in what Robert Griffin III does, and says. And they NEVER take into consideration that the football player knows EVERYTHING about his own body... and they, the Shock Jock Sports Big Mouths, don't know dick about the football player. They only know WHAT THEY ARE TOLD by the football team. And that, actually, isn't squat.
But, the ignorant Shock Jocks continue to scream bloody murder about issues that they do not know a thing about. If you listen to the Sports Shock Jocks, and believe every stupid word they say, then you KNOW that the first time Robert Griffin III steps onto the football field this fall... both of his knees, and ankles, will break like egg shells... and therefore, he should NOT step onto the field -- according to these know-it-all Sports Shock Jocks.
And, if you listen to the Shock Jocks, they KNOW they know ten times more than the coaching staff of the football team knows.
Is it any wonder why the fans of the Washington, D.C. sports teams are so confused and angry all the time? They listen to this present breed of uninformed, racist, sexist, ignorant sportscaster who has little regard for sport's logic and sports history. I have heard individual Washington, D.C. Sports Shock Jocks tell their audience, and the sports jocks and coaches, that they don't watch, or know about, the sports they are railing about on a daily basis.
Pure ignorance... and I am tired of it!
They are NOT funny, they are not intelligent, they are sports ignorant and even the one who played Linebacker in the NFL shows abject ignorance about sports history... and humane humanity!
Pure ignorance!
