Fear Of Words

Why is it that when a sports writer tells the truth that some fans are so fearful of the truth that they go to any extreme to discredit the writer? Not once do they make an effort to discuss and debate the specifics of what he wrote. They dread and fear every word he writes because he challenges their delusions.

Looking back at the July 29th entry on the Vol Blog, Paranoia Strikes Deep, we discussed the paranoia displayed by fans towards ESPN. Why is it that when the media is not a blatant "homer", they are out to get your team? For once, it would be nice to see fans discuss and debate the message instead of shooting the messenger. Fear is an emotion experienced by those who are ignorant to the truth and reality

From Buffalo Springfield's, For What Its Worth, "Paranoia strikes deep. Into your life it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid."

Heed the words. They offer some great advice.
