So as I am looking through the paper to find the Sports section in the Times I didn't see what I expected. Today is Saturday, which is the day of Game 2 of the playoffs for the only team in Seattle in the playoffs and actually doing well. This team is not on the front cover, the 2nd page, the 3rd page...as I scan through I am still looking for an article about this team. Ah! I finally found it on...page 8? Not only is the article on page 8, but it only takes up 1/6 of the page. The rest of the page and the page next to it is all car ads. I would have most definitely gone past these pages unless I was looking for something. Really? 1/6 of a page on page 8 for playoff coverage of the Storm? Pathetic.
The only team in the playoffs for Seattle and the Times gives them a smidgen of a space? They probably really only care about selling advertising space to earn some money than give the Storm more page space. Now, the front page at least has some good information, but most of it could go in the 2nd or 3rd pages. 2 articles on golf? Not everyone likes golf. Maybe one article in the front and one later on. Not both.
The Storm deserve recognition and so does the whole organization. They could finally win the first round of the playoffs, after being eliminated the past years and people should be aware of that. Instead of watching movies all day, why not watch the Storm on ESPN2 at noon? It will be more dramatic than any movie will be. With an amazing starting lineup and a fantastic bench, the Storm has a very good chance of winning the series. Even if you are not a basketball fan or a Storm fan, watching the game will make you be one. I know I will be on the couch watching the Storm today. Will you?
