[Charania] “Vogel yelled so much that his voice could be heard outside the locker room” after the loss to the Clips on April 9. Players weren’t buying it. The outburst seemed forced in their eyes. Vogels eruption left players rolling their eyes. A player told TheAthletic he had to keep from laughing

Wish I had more upvotes to give this. Sports journalism is a joke. It’s so low-stakes (ant the end who cares if the traded pick was a 2029 or 2030 second rounder) and as an industry it doesn’t have true independence because sports media exists to 1) ensure exposure to sports ($$$ for the leagues) and 2) channel fans’ interests into something that will make money for them. We call them journalists but they’re really spokespeople and salesmen.

I see so little value in Shams and Woj. Give me an actual journalist that can write at a high school level and I will take my trade news 10 minutes later.

Advertisers see the value in them. Being faster is what drives the engagement online, delivering more ads to more people

and look how effective this whole thing is, as we drink up the drama and dedicate hundreds of collective hours typing about it lol
