I think it ' s because reporters don ' t acknowledge those . People expect him to cover the team , not the reactions or public opinion . But to be fair , he is what he is , a blogger who became a writer for ESPN . I think his description of what he brings is pretty clearWhile it ' s cool to read what your team ' s beat writer has to say , it ' s also very useful to read what a fellow fan took out of a game . The blogger comes at it from your angle he ' s unabashedly biased and isn ' t going to apologize for it . It ' s very refreshing .

Plenty of people in the US see guns as dangerous and would be happy to see private ownership heavily regulated .
