I Won't Bow Down

It's nice to know I have some followers on here.

I was confronted by someone regarding something I wrote on here. A lot of it was just frustration and wondering. A week ago I wrote something about newspapers and wrestling coverage. I think it was this one that was troublesome:

"Basketball-oriented reporters simply do not know the basics of the moves ... If I want bout results, I will look at the box. Some reporters have a habit of not wanting to learn the detail of something new."

Apparently that didn't bode well with someone I know. I know this person is real good at wrestling. I was simply applying that statement to those who don't do a whole lot of wrestling meets: "basketball-oriented reporters." At first I couldn't understand why he had a problem with it. Then it hit: we're dealing with a newspaper that wasn't all too great back then. Now they are winning awards. I was told of one of them tonight.

Is this what they do to make people shut up? Say they won an award, so back off?

The readers didn't give out the awards. Executives from far away did. It's one thing to prove it to them, now can it be proven to the readership? Or do we all just not get it? Don't tell me about awards.

Oh, so now I'm the biggest tool in the prep sports scene? I'm a disease to businesses? I don't have people above me on any ladder telling me what to do, or what to write, or how to write. I don't conduct my work in the high school sports world wearing a business cap. I don't write with a survival slant, or a notoriety slant. If I did, I would have a much larger website by now. But I don't. I'm fine with that. I don't have anyone else to worry about except the high school sports world.

If I have a problem with something, am I going to write it on here? Hell yes.

I enjoy what I'm doing. I don't need to bow down to anyone.
