With a generous dash of stupidity and selfishness.
This is a story that’s not too difficult to believe. Kind of makes you wonder how ugly things get behind closed doors
An excellent question. My opinion of the occupation is specific and based on concise definition. Here are the Merriam-Webster definitions I refer to:So what defines a "journalist"?

Yes please. I often wondered why someone as brash as JJ don’t come out and say The Cowboys will never negotiate with a certain agent. So if you want to be A Cowboy then change your agent and we talk. I would have done that with the agent D-Law uses. Having him hold out surgery for leverage. He could care a less how it effects our winning or losing games.
Here's the difference, though. Gurley came into the league with a bum knee. That's why he dropped in the draft. And he had been hurt within his rookie contract. His durability had been question, and people wondered whether he should have gotten that massive extension anyway because some weren't convinced his knees could carry the load.
Jerry's not going to make a dime more by paying Zeke less. That money comes out of the pockets of Ezekiel's teammates.And Jerry Jones is not greedy?
This idea that players are "greedy" because they request to be paid according to their value is an interesting argument.
So it's okay for owners to rake in BILLIONS, to cut players, effectively ending how much they will be paid according to their contracts, to "deny" players guaranteed contracts - which basketball and baseball players have, and many would argue football players need MORE because the wear and tear on their bodies are GREATER than that of the other two sports - and to make outside advertising deals and other financial agreements that put more in their pockets.
But players are greedy?
It's going to be a distraction regardless.
