Got an e-mail from, yes, the local roller derby team early this week looking for a story on couple members of their team being selected to the national team to play at the first ever "world cup" event later this year.
No better way to drum up interest from the local media than by slamming them first:
"Every day I hear or read about the sports from across the countrry and in the USA, it would be nice to hear about some local sports news."
Of course being a daily paper in a city of 100,000, we never cover the what's going on locally [/blue font]. Secondly, when your two team members that have been selected to the national team go by the names TAZ and Gunpowder Gertie, I don't exactly call it a sport. Some brand of sports entertainment, fine, that's why we have an entertainment and lifestyles section.
