Somebody making 40K or less a year to be a sportswriter (and a lot of them make a lot less then that nowadays), shouldn't have themselves and their families subjected to that, just because it's a honor just to be asked.

Certainly not because Stephen A. Smith wants to dole out his pound of flesh on National Television...not because he's personally outraged...but because it creates an angry and engaged audience that keeps him relevant and makes him and his employer shitloads of money in the process.

If the HOF thinks somebody is abusing their position as a voting member, just don't invite them back the next year...but it's not the end of the world because anybody does or doesn't get 100% of the votes.
This is true of anyone who writes anything publicly, including journalists. It sucks that that's the world we live in nowadays, but I don't know what makes the HOF vote any different than any other article or tweet anyone puts out there.
