While there are some exceptional sports journalists, who love the game, are passionate and respect the players while having boundaries,certain entitled ones just ,because of proximity to big players have been bullies report just to sensationalise with no knowledge & substance 1/2

It is equally important for players who give these kind of brash journalist a platform & unnecessary access to have better sense of who to be close to and have a clear boundary. I am afraid some top players have lacked that sense just because they enjoy the buttering. #Saha
