Media Watch: Stage 5 of TdG Did Not Happen

Today's Sunday New York Times national print edition: Nothing.

Today's Spartanburg Herald Journal Online: Nothing

Today's Greenville News Online (Hincapie's hometown paper): Nothing

All three are full of the usual diet of detailed stories about a baseball player's groin injury (he's day-to-day), a basketball player's opinion about an upcoming playoff game (he thinks they have to give '110 percent'), etc.

Same story with soccer: The average American sports editor is unfamiliar with and therefore uncomfortable about a sport and therefore assumes everyone else is and thus ignores it...

Point: If the same is true in your area, write a Letter-to-the-Editor.....

[Of course, I consider Stage 5 to have been especially news-worthy because I WAS THERE! )
