I don't know if you consider yourself a journalist Mr. Ello, but if you do, you failed your profession miserably with your rant on the radio and your continued ramblings in this blog. <br /><br />You have failed to uphold your pledge to be objective and unbiased in your reporting. You have failed to search out the facts. You used the public airwaves to spew hate and misinformation about an event that happens every weekend in college and pro sports. Calls get blown, replays get misinterpreted, humans make mistakes. <br /><br />You assumed and shouted to the rooftops foul play, even though you made no attempt to discover the policies of the MWC and many other athletic conferences in accordance with instant replay. While hiring current employees of a university playing in the game where the replay crew is working shows poor judgment it doesn't mean those working on that crew are dishonest and intended to cheat your team of a win.<br /><br />SDSU's coach, school representatives should publicly apologize for spreading the misinformation and for leaking the names of individuals involved putting their good names up to unjustified ridicule, libel, and slander.<br /><br />You should turn in your journalist credentials and go back to school. Once you've learned how to be a good journalist come back and do it right.<br /><br />If you were in my employ you would not be working in my shop any longer.<br /><br />Doug L. - Retired VP News, News Director, Anchor, Reporter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064395896595260168.post-83451712803047310002010-10-18T11:45:00.044-07:002010-10-18T11:45:00.044-07:00Dear Chris,
Clearly you didn't learn anything...Dear Chris,<br /><br />Clearly you didn't learn anything from your survey course in American history from the local community college, sorry I meant SDSU. So here are a couple of points to educate you a little: <br /><br />1) The 1940s were actually one of the most progressive decades of American history in terms of women's rights prior to the 1960s and 1970s. You see, there was this small event called World War II that sent the vast majority of the men off to Europe and the Pacific. The result was that women began filling the positions in factories that had normally been filled by men. Many of the motivations for the women's rights movement began during this decade as these women learned that they could fill a place outside the home. <br /><br />2) Do you have any clue, whatsoever, what went on in Birmingham in the 1960s? If you are going to make that comparison, you are sure as heck going to have to provide some concrete evidence for the following: that minorities are being arrested for trying to eat in Provo restaurants; that attack dogs are being set loose on minorities; that minorities are having fire hydrants turned on them; that crosses are being burned outside the homes of minorities; that people are being lynched for the color of their skin; etc.<br /><br />Say that Provo is not your favorite place in the world. Say that Provo is not the friendliest environment for people of other faiths. Say that Provo is not a very diverse community. Say any number of these things and I will agree with you and argue that there are changes that need to be made. But the second you invoke Birmingham in the 1960s, you lose all credibility. That statement should offend every single African American in this country, as well as all the rest of us who have actually studied American history. In fact, the very nature of that comment ought to cost you your job in the world of broadcast journalism because it is so ignorant and offensive. Hate BYU, Mormonism, Utah, etc., fine. But don't you dare make light of one of this country's most shameful periods of racial persecution! Provide some concrete evidence or make an apology for your ignorance and idiocy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064395896595260168.post-76823150616669540202010-10-18T09:23:09.522-07:002010-10-18T09:23:09.522-07:00For those of you who had a hard time making it thr...For those of you who had a hard time making it through this poor excuse for a blog post, what Chris is saying is:<br /><br /> "There are two kinds of people I can't stand - Those who are intolerant of other cultures, and the Mormons."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064395896595260168.post-66815529966606835932010-10-18T09:03:04.983-07:002010-10-18T09:03:04.983-07:00LOL. read the first 2 paragraphs and realized this...LOL. read the first 2 paragraphs and realized this is a racist, ignorant nobody.

Can you imagine what it must be like to cheer for a football team that couldn't beat most local highschools? This guy's life has been miserable for years. BYU fans wanted to off themselves when there were three brief losing seasons, but this guy's team hasn't had a single winning season in years! We shouldn't be bothered that he took his pain out on BYU. It's gotta hurt to get killed by them every year, even when they are bad. As a resident of southern CA, I don't think I've ever met a fan of SDSU, even among SDSU alumni, so this poor guy is weathering the adversity alone. One of my friends who is a grad of SDSU didn't even know they had a football team.
