Skip Bayless

I'm with you on this SF except Skip is not still working in journalism.

 

Skip is working in television, not journalism. I argue that he’s playing a heel character but doesn’t have the sense to know when the kayfabe should stop.

 

I think that's a semantic argument that people outside of the industry ignore. He's on TV for a major broadcaster talking sports, ergo he's a journalist in their minds.

 

If he is unclear where the line is, then his bosses should clarify it for him. He's been given way too many high profile chances for someone of his ability.

 

Skip Bayless’s main goal in life to ensure that you’re talking about Skip Bayless. Has been for years. He’s not trying to convey anything that has actual value.

 

Pretty much:

 

Low ratings or not, he's employed by Fox, one of the country's major sports television content producers.

He's not on some backwater radio station or yelling into the void on social media.

 

Oh, my goodness, yes! He's no more a journalist than Hannity, Cuomo or Scarborough.

In addition to "ignore," I would also include "or fail to understand."

 

I certainly understand Skip is an entertainer, not a journalist. Trouble is, he's also the exact opposite of entertaining.

 

Make that a ball bat to both sides of the skull.

 

I would like to make a plea here. I don't want to get into details but I have seen family members live significantly happier lives because they went to a doctor and were treated for anxiety disorders and depression, sometimes after years of resistance. And not only were they helped but it improved the quality of life of their families, who are inevitably dragged into the problem. So just go do it.
