"Butch" "Dooley" and "frauds".

They were called much worse by those same fans.

Many of these responses are reminders of what I've recently read in new books by Martin Baron and Kat Timpf.

Please share more details about that. Thanks.

Please share more details about that. Thanks.

The likes of Felicia Sonmez, Dave Weigel or Wesley Lowery might ring a bell.
Last I heard, Sonmez was working at North Carolina Public Radio in an off-air capacity. Not a bad gig at all, but quite a drop from The Washington Post.

Thankful there was no Twitter when I was in my 20s and covering sports.

25-year-old me would have Pished off everyone I covered.

It was bad enough being 25 and working at the Podunk Weekly. Social media would have made things much worse.

The big concern from her tweet has nothing to do with calling Altuve a cheater, but instead that she has contemplated committing suicide three times in a relatively short period. Hope friends and family are taking that seriously.

Nashville would love you for this and Memphis is too divided to care. I'll ashume you weren't slumming in Knoxville or Chattanooga.

And those were AFTER she beat acute myeloid leukemia in high school.

Chron sounds like a respiratory disease. But it's far better than Tronc, which was a bowel discharge.

Chron sounds like a news site that covers the cannabis industry.
