Sports Journalists make me REALLY MAD

You know what, screw this!

I am SO ANGRY at sports journalists right now! They only care about themselves and how good they are and how good their papers are!

It's only a matter of time until there is a Dot Com genocide put forth by print journalists! Dot Commers do this for the love of the sport, print people do it for money and fame. Everything is about money and politics. They are trying to destroy these dot commers who have free realm over their stories, whereas print people are constrained by a set amount of column inches.

Of course that's why print journalists have a hatred for dot commers, who can do whatever they want.

When did we stop looking at the young athletes, and begin looking at our egos?!?!?!?!

I can't stand journalists anymore. From EVERY newspaper! They're all fixated on competition. No wonder there are logjams at the rare high school sportswriting openings! There's not one around here for HUNDREDS of miles!

I used to like everyone, but I can't right now. I am absolutely livid about where the sports journalism world is headed. It's just like current baseball hall of famers: they don't want anyone in their EXCLUSIVE club.

All about money and fame.

I can't believe I looked up to these people.

I just can't control myself right now.

I LOVE high school sports journalism! I LOVE high school sports! I want to continue to be a high school sports journalist. But I don't want to be associated with people who don't give a rats ass about the game.

A large majority of high school sports journalists don't even want to be there covering a high school game. They always seem bored and uninteresting: go in, see game, interview, quickly write article to beat deadline, walk out.

I understand deadline pressure. But you don't need to be a JERK just because YOU are trying to beat a deadline. That only shows people you care about yourself, your profession, and your hourly wage!

I have Asperger's Syndrome, and even I am more colorful than these journalists.

Congratulations, print journalists, you just made a student of your profession CRY. Shame on you, sports journalists!

I don't know what to do. I'm just going to run upstairs and cry until I can't cry anymore - I don't give about you anymore

I'm not asking, begging, pleading or whining for a job.

I need to be alone right now. If anyone needs me, please drop me a line.

I need help. Someone help me.
