There was a Kelly article a few months back that basically argued the exact opposite. Basically said that sports needs journalists (and the storylines that they created) for it to be exciting.
That's what I find so scummy about it - the invented narratives or storylines. I feel like I read this on twitter the other day, but basically the discussion was how someone like Cox could write an article and opine on something. Then he can go on radio and talk more about whatever thing he said. Then it gets traction and the players get asked about it. Suddenly they're responding to something that never existed until it was created by the media member.
