@therealknelson You know I cover tech news, but as a diehard sports fan, I have many, many, many thoughts on stuff like this.

@therealknelson Everyone wants to be a sports media personality instead of a sportswriter/analyst/commentator

@therealknelson They aren’t journalists!

@therealknelson I agree Kelsey. Hot take culture has got to go.

@therealknelson Seriously, at that point they are just going into business for themselves

@therealknelson The business is going away from it. I feel like we’ve reached a point of no return. But we gonna keep on trucking. 😊

@therealknelson It was a hot take, but he gave a pretty nuanced explanation of why he thinks Dak sucks. His explanation is what people thought Dak’s weaknesses were in college.

@therealknelson i mean people been watching Steve and Skip for how many years now, what you expect?

@therealknelson Aren’t these people all washed athletes? The networks think we want to hear players talk. Most of them are BAD. Even many of the pro analysts aren’t great. You’re right, a good analyst is gold. Don’t need trollers from Hitner to Steven A.

@therealknelson I 💯 agree. Everything is clickbait anymore and a slap in the face to all the journalists that work so hard to do top notch work. The hours put in by reporters, especially best writers, is completely overlooked. It’s a different world right now and here’s me hoping for change.

@therealknelson I totally agree. It's unprofessional and unnecessary.

@therealknelson Me too. This Twitter IRL is gross. It’s not just media types either. It’s players talking about other players too. It’s all 🤮

@therealknelson Yeah, let’s also go back to the days when women didn’t cover male dominated sports

@therealknelson This. Why is sports media so mean?

@therealknelson 🎯

@therealknelson Yes please

@therealknelson Trained sports journalist are the people who started this hot take culture.

@therealknelson He said nothing wrong

@therealknelson U can make that argument 4 #journalism as a whole. I'll always have a love 4 the craft, but when I look @ what newsrooms have become n this day & age, I don't c a place 4 me. Walking away from the profession remains the hardest thing I've ever done ... but I don't regret it.

@therealknelson Dang!
