Sport is still a matter of black and white
September 17, 2007 3 Comments
National Public Radio’s Boston affiliate, 90.9 WBUR is doing a series on football in South Africa (as a lead-up to the 2010 World Cup). Here’s the pitch:
“… Fifteen years ago, at a sold out King’s Park Stadium in Durban, the newly integrated South African national team celebrated its return to international soccer competition with a 1-0 win at home against Cameroon. South Africa was awarded the 2010 World Cup, the first such competition to be played on African soil. But Only A Game’s Ken Shulman found that in this land of many colors, sport is still a matter of black and white.”

Didn’t yet get it to work, but let’s see – sure sounds promising! All the best to the African teams for 2010. They’ll be dominating in 10 years anyways …
Ken Shulman is a slimy fraud. I’m tired of hearing his pretentious radio pieces. He acts as if he cares about the people he’s interviewing, but he’s clearly an egocentric opportunist. NPR and WBUR can do a lot better.
Linda,
I can’t change your feelings about my work. However if I’ve wronged someone you know I’d like to know about it. I don’t like airing laundry in public, even when it’s bleached. We can continue this conversation in private on facebook.
