The Story
One person wrote: "ESPN is purely an entertainment company. ESPN has nothing to do with journalism. They have several investments especially in the NFL, SEC, etc that they routinely promote and cover for. This shouldn't be any surprise to anyone."
Sources
One person responded: "Are you saying it's shocking sports reporters are in the pockets of those they consider sources, and those that they cover? No s—, Steve."
Mouthpiece
Another person wrote: "The sports scoop industry is weird. Folks fighting for the right to make big money just for doing PR releases for teams, players, and agents 30 seconds faster than the other guy."
Scared?
One fan asked: "Do you think this will impact St. Louis vs. the NFL case? Sure some of those emails pertained to the rams relocation. Interested to hear your thoughts on STL potentially getting a billion (with a B) if they win ?
Not Surprised
One person tweeted: "All part of the NFL's master plan to further distract from Snyder et al. (Isn't it weird how many people forget the NFL is an organization of owners, so they're going to look out for themselves and maybe the guy they hired to do the office work for them, RG?)"
Explains Everything
One person responded: "This is exactly how Hollywood "insiders" and gossip columnists rolled back in the silver screen era. Studios would give sympathetic reporters "scoops" in exchange for keeping more scandalous stories under wraps."
Set the Record Straight
And one fan wrote: "I've done it for people who aren't in positions of power. I wouldn't do it for a powerful person simply because of the tone it sets, and because they knew what they were getting into when they assumed those positions."
