Courting the Trolls
The Mariotti outrage begins: Did you seriously just compare Jay Mariotti to Hunter Thompson? ["New Editor, Controversial Sports Writer — What More Could You Want (To Be Outraged By)?" Mark Segal Kemp, News, 3/25]. Is this some kind grand trolling experiment? Mariotti is the poster child for papering over mediocre writing/analysis skills with bluster and phony controversy. I find it hard to believe that anyone who doesn't already read SF Weekly is going to start based on the presence of this wanker. Pdoody
Pro- More Research
Let me tell you a little something about big guys: In your article you said "pro wrestling has always been about big, muscular guys facing off in hell in cell matches" ["The Greatest Sport in Theater: WrestleMania Comes to the Bay," Matt Saincome, Culture, 3/25]. You couldn't be farther from the truth. Look back at wrestlers before Vince McMahon ruined it. Big muscular guys facing off in hell in cell matches is a "sports entertainment" thing. Vince McMahon has distanced his company from the name pro-wrestling. Look back at Bay Area guys like Ray Stevens or this year's hall of fame inductees; the bushwackers are small guys. Ray Steven 5'8" 235 not a muscular 235. Big guys came about because Vince was a bodybuilder. Do more research on the history of something before you print it as fact. t10
Mayor Ed Lee Gets Called Out
Wait, what about the homophobia at City Hall?: Too bad he doesn't care about us working for homophobic bosses here in the city ["Mayor Ed Lee Forbids City Workers From Traveling to Homophobic Indiana," Erin Sherbert, The Snitch, 3/26]. SF-CityEmployee
