Cerbaho-WG Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 From CW: Sox Watchers (Down Arrow) - For the second straight year, South Sider jumps fence and attacks. This would never happen at Wrigley. My response: In your 4/22 version of Newsweek in the Conventional Wisdom section, something caught my eye. It was the very large picture of the bruised and bloodied moron who attacked an umpire at U.S. Cellular Field. The CW rating and explanation caught my eye as well. Let's get our facts straight before we start spewing complete garbage in a magazine: 1) The fan was a Cub fan, and was reportedly seen at Wrigley drunk out of his mind earlier in the day. 2) This would never happen at Wrigley? Do I have to remind your editors of the Randy Meyers or Dodgers hat incidents? 3) Ever look at the crime rates of Birdgeport and Wrigley? Public intoxication can do wonders for a section's crime rate. Born and raised as a South Sider, I find it quite offensive that your CW editors would go so far as to not even report the truth, and then seemingly slam Sox fans as a whole. Sox fans don't need the national media to start bashing them as well, the Tribune Company does that well enough. :fyou Newsweek, my subscription might just be cancelled.

YASNY Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Did your letter make it into print? I hope so, as we could use some national press that points out the true story and cuts through all the BS. Great job!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted April 23, 2003 Author Share Posted April 23, 2003 I'll check next week's Newsweek to see if it made it to print. If my message does, I'll be the third member of my family to be published in Newsweek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
