I think sports journalists are an extremely big part of making players look good or bad. When you think about it, the only information most people get about there favorite players or teams is that which they read in the paper or magazines. This puts almost all of there opinion in the hands of the author of the article, who probably knows only slightly more than that viewer. This one way track of recieving information can be problamatic when the authors of these articles do not get there facts correct.

I agree. So many people out there just listen to the sports journalists and take what they say as facts but don't take the time to do the research to get more information to prove/disprove what they heard. Many viewers just accept what they hear and base their idea of an athlete solely on that information..... not the best way to do things. If everyone did that in their everyday lives what would happen? Everyone would be judged on assumptions, rumors, and another persons idea of another rather than truth and personal connection.
