Something’s afoot
with press coverage of the WNBA Chicago Sky—you can actually find it. Yesterday, I read a 10-paragraph story in the
Tribune about the Sky-Phoenix Mercury game.
Ten paragraphs, and a box score to boot.
It would behoove the Sky to play better than 1-6.
With its perpetual
shoestring budget, the Sun-Times is still going with the 50 words or less
approach to the Sky, although it did include a box score. And I’ve actually seen highlights on the
nightly sports. Alas, the pro-softball
Bandits are nowhere to be seen. They
opened their season at home two days ago with a 3-2 win over the Akron Racers,
not that either Chicago newspaper cared.
I’m guessing none of the TV stations did, either.
Wouldn’t it be
something if a daily paper took the plunge and assigned a beat reporter to
cover one or both of the women’s teams?
Act like something matters, and it will, or should.
