Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - A lot of sportswriters can play the elitist card like a classically trained cellist.
In fact, I personally know a number of scribes that look down upon the fans who read them.
I will admit that I can occasionally fall into the same trap. I mean, it is hard to understand a 40-year-old man who cares more about his favorite sports team than say his family or job.
That said, we all got into this business for one reason. At one time, no matter how much we deny it, every single sportswriter was a fan of some player or team before they embarked on their chosen career path
