I have tried to take the high road but enough is enough.
My colleague Peter Schmuck (yes, that is his real name), the respected Baltimore Sun sports columnist and blogger, posted a vitriolic entry on his blog Tuesday in which he bashed pro wrestling and its fans (not only that, but he insulted my hometown of Dundalk).
Then on Wednesday, he issued a sarcastic apology on his blog.
I, for one, do not accept it.
Being on the receiving end of insults and wise cracks just goes with the territory when you're a wrestling fan, and most of the time I just ignore it. But few things make me angrier than when a "legitimate sports journalist" speaks condescendingly about wrestling and how it's not a real sport, the fans are all rednecks, blah, blah, blah.
Pete, do us all a favor and stick to writing about subjects that you actually know something about: bad baseball teams, all-you-can-eat buffets and male-enhancement products.
