Reaction to Skip Bayless

Hey how you doing? It has been awhile since I've blogged and just want to start off with a response piece. I'm going to be sharing my reaction and response to Skip Bayless. Skip Bayless is sports debater, journalist, and host of a popular show, "First Take" which airs on ESPN. And the piece I'll be responding to is... 
Ok so now that you have read it, I want to share what I think of it. Skip why are you even talking? Yes you can acknowledge the shot he made at the end but why are you talking about all the "misses" and "blunders" when you weren't playing on the court. And yes I know it's your job and, stuff like this is why people like you, but being a professional athlete is very challenging. And yes I'm very guilty as I'm always caught putting down the players and saying like, "wow this dude sucks, how is he even in the NBA?" And while its natural for Skip to show his emotions because that's what he gets payed to do but I just think that comments like these just go over board with people who have no right to say that they "FINALLY MADE A THREE" when they themselves probably can't make a shot if their life depends on it. Overall I understand Skip's tweet but I just think that sometimes he just goes on tangents that just make him sound incredibly foolish. And while Skip is really funny I hope he can sometimes just read what he says to make sure what he says or puts on Twitter isn't just straight obnoxious. Thanks for checking out my Trü blog and hope to see y'all soon.

  1. I totally agree with your response to Skip Bayless and his ranting he does on social media. He gets way out of hand and honestly most off his tweets are just very inappropriate. Yes, Lebron might had had a bad game, but that doesn't mean that shot was do or die for Lebron. Skip Bayless is crazy and if he actually was in an athlete's shoes on the court, then he would perceive sports and how he posts on social media a lot differently.

  2. I also agree. Skip has a history of making harsh and wild comments to various athletes. Although he gets paid to do what he does, I think that some of his remarks are so crazy and out of nowhere it almost seems like he is begging for attention. Also, Skip lets his bias get in the way of his analysis, especially when the conversation revolves around the Dallas Cowboys or OKC Thunder.
