re: Ryan Clark Reads This Board

My issue with RC and the subjects you mention is that he has a responsibility as a professional and as a man to be accountable in his job.

Of course he's not alone, most of these sports analysts long ago shunned basic rules of journalism and just tweet or report whatever emotional takes they want. When you file a story or make a comment that takes a strong take IMHO there is a responsibility to go to the source and get their input before you opine.

RC did that in neither the case of O or Brees. He just went off on them without even an attempt to get their take from all I can tell.

Passion is the true enemy of reason. And that appears to me to absolutely be the case here. He used the cover of the volatile social climate to rationalize attacking without the responsibility that should be required of someone in his position as an ESPN analyst.

Be a man and go to the source RC before making yourself judge and jury with people's lives and professions.
