    The British version of Men's Health magazine has a section where they describe studies like this. It's called "Ministry of the Bleedin' Obvious." #jocks

    In my time they also drove fuckin' I-Roc Z's, wore multiple gold chains, and did poorly in school.

    Your comment was rather tedious to begin with, but your failure to maintain the distinction between "its" and "it's" really marks you as a dullard.

    @BookishLookish: Yes, yes how droll of me. Surely pontificating on jock douchebaggery calls for THE highest punctuation standards. Way to suck the joy out of a joke.

    BTW, I pay people like you to type for me, and do minor grammar chores related to copy standards. So thank you! I really appreciate it. As a token of my appreciation your Christmas bonus will be a new edition of the Chicago Manual of Style in lieu of actual money. Enjoy!! Or is that too dull a gift for you? #jocks

    @restless: "People like me"? Is that a racist crack? And yes, you pay people to do what you cannot or will not do yourself.

    As for your "joke," huh? Who do you pay for your sense of humor? Nobody, you say? Oh, too bad, honey. Some things in life, money just cannot buy, I'm afraid. #jocks

    I think I understand what your damage is. Is your boyfriend some kind of douchebag jock? Because your issues are showing.

    There ain't nothing you could give me for any amount of money in this world, which is mostly good cheer and happiness. #jocks

    I actually worked in HS sports media for a long time, for years as a media group partnering with a HS athletic association. This has been brewing for about five years.


    The issue is the HS athletic associations sign lucrative deals with online companies to stream games and when they can't offer exclusivity to the vendor, it is a breach of contract. The associations will also sell those feeds to TV stations - like the NCAA does with march madness. More feeds - screw up business deals and end up meaning less people at events.


    So in essence they are using a business relationship affect what press credentials they'll even approve. It wasn't a big deal when the local paper didn't have a lot of technology tools but now many of them do.


    But it isn't just HS - colleges sports info directors for years refused to credential media groups they thought were doing what they defined as live feeds from events. What is happening in WI is the trickle down from the NCAA's marketing deals.

    @Charlotte Rae's Web: I remember a similar case where I believe a state athletic association tried to either charge papers for access or ban them outright. I can't remember all the details at this moment, but the basic gist of it was that the athletic association would rather grant access to people who can charge parents for the photo than people who may or may not print a pic of Junior in the paper.
