World Football: The Media Should Be More Responsible

Vincenzo Morabito, one such clown, was one that was given far too much importance this close season. None of his predictions (transfers-wise) have came true, and he is someone whose quotes I will closely follow in the future.

If it was up to me, I wouldn't even feature any of his quotes anywhere.

I know that it takes two to tango, and that it is impossible for the media to function without these sensational stories. But the sheer quantity of these stories has simply disgusted me. The veracity of the stories bandied about in the press is diminishing by the day.

I hope that fans understand that managers and players don't come out and make statements arbitrarily to the press.

Whatever you see in these news outlets are simply responses to well-designed questions. Some managers and players are inept at answering such questions, but this just goes to show what the media has become.

It's funny. I always thought that the game of football was played on the pitch. Today, though, the game is being played increasingly off the pitch, thanks to the media. That is a very dangerous precedent for institutions that should, in fact, be reporting the truth.

It's time for the media to clean up their act and become more responsible.
