Yeah but people do that specifically so that they don't have to take in any new information and rethink what they already believe. Guessing someone's motivations and discrediting them is exactly what the people who pull the strings what you to do. It sucks that it's trickled down to sports as well.
The idea that I would write something I didn't believe, so that I could get a rise out of people who I clearly have contempt for isn't even a remote possibility.
