When you say things like " a place like STL" that's disparaging and disrespectful there are plenty of journalists in LA that has a lot of negative things to say about the Rams too. Hell I don't like a lot of the things the reporters are saying about the Rams here in STL but keep your ire towards the reporter and don't say things like a place like STL
Apparently you've never read Bill Plaschke. He's bad enough to drag the entire LA Times sports staff down to any depth you wish to project. He's indefensible in his blubbery and emotional asshatery.
There are plenty of people who if you say one thing perceived bad about STL they break out in a bad case of sandin vaginitis and it does get a bit over played but I guess I've never lived in a city or area my team uprooted and played for.
Let's be honest with eachother here, the sports media in STL is a 'keep the status quo and be lazy, salty, hacks' who write shit articles. Same goes for a lot non Rams as well. The up and comers seem to be driven out or opressed and will get no play unless the BS common garbage belches forth.
With that being said most of the guys from LA are shit as well. I love how any comment disparaging anything STL and has zero do with a fan base and there is already " well L.A. This And L.A.that. Whoooooooaaaaaa! Calm your tits. I'm not bashing anybody, just making an analytical observation.
Now in retrospect, some cities with some decent sports writers ( albeit not perfect which is rare now a days in the profession) is Seattle, Denver, Phoenix, Dallas but all the bs Cowturd stuff gets old, and Pittsburgh. And i dare some I've read some good work out of the Bay Area.
