Norman, thanks for listening. But listen better. I didn’t say I was the smartest guy in the room. I said compared to people like you, I’m a genius. Which I am. You wrote an incredibly dumb column arguing we need less sports when Americans are desperate for sports to be back. https://twitter.com/normanchad/status/1259604935341035520

The coronavirus has exposed a fact that many sportswriters have tried to keep hidden — people like you don’t actually like sports or most sports fans. You look down on them. I’m not perfect — and my audience knows this for sure — but they also know I love sports & respect them.

It’s why my audience continues to grow every day and why despite writing columns for decades in a large newspaper you still have no actual fans. The truth hurts, good luck, bud.
