Which now means that somebody on the Internet has claimed that Chipper Jones was not born from a female human, but rather hatched from an egg. Maybe a sportswriter should waste everybody's time and write a column which disputes the notion that Chipper Jones was hatched from an egg:
"When an athlete pushing 39 has reconstructive knee surgery, the tendency is to speak about them in past tense. Or worse. Some cynics not only question Jones physically, they wonder if money is his primary motivation. This accusation generally comes from the short-sighted, ignorant and disturbed segment of the populace that vents on sports talk radio and posts comments on blogs, all behind the comfort of anonymity."
I don't have an ear to the ground regarding Atlanta Braves blogs, but I doubt very much if a large number of "short-sighted, ignorant and disturbed segments of the populace" are "generally" claiming that Chipper Jones is a sellout who is playing for money.
Even if there was, why would you list these people as a source? Why would you feel the need to rebuke anonymous so-called sources? Especially since the people who vent about the Atlanta Braves on sports talk radio and leave comments on Atlanta Braves blogs ... well ... they're the same short-sighted, ignorant, and disturbed people who are likely to read your column.
