I hate Adam Digby. I hate his smug, weasel face. I hate that legitimate organizations continue to give him money for his impossibly cliched and tangled web of un-edited bullshit. (Seriously, Jen Chang, it's time to hire someone to sub-edit for you if you're not going to do it.)
Here is a recent lede for another American-based organization tricked into paying Digby money because he lives in Turin and sometimes convinces people he can speak English:
"'Miracle' is word used all too often in sports reporting, its use having reached a saturation point that's diminished the word's meaning and impact. But, in the case of AC Chievo Verona, in their role as Calcio’s perennial over-achievers, it is precisely the right term to describe them."
Let me translate that for you: "Here is a cliche which sports journalism has disintegrated beyond recognition, but which I'm going to use again because I can't think of anything better than a now-meaningless word to start my article."
Again, he's paid to write this. With money. As a job.
His twitter feed is a nauseating loop of self-congratulation, cloying tut-tutting toward any fan who dare not have his clearly enlightened take and despicable sucking up to any real journalist.
This thread will be updated with snarky responses to his tweets, ad hominem attacks on his and his mother's person and general ranting about the shitty state of journalism whenever I'm forced to read a piece as shittily written as Digby's always are.
God is face is so fucking punchable.
