I'm sorry, but this story isn't getting even CLOSE to the same amount of attention the Ohio State story got when "tattoogate" first broke. Especially when you factor in that these allegations are a million times more egregious than OSU. The story isn't even the feature headline. They have Notre Dame as the picture story, for crying out loud. Since the Ohio State story broke, they have had one featured headline almost every week, especially in the past 1-2 months. They have two headlines right now, for crying out loud. They even made Tressel's salary front page news. I have no problem with the attention OSU is getting, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that ESPN is peppering meaningless stories about OSU every single week and sensationalizing their violations, when there are 3 schools that are getting serious scrutiny too.
The problem is, it's only ESPN that's doing this. And it's not just OSU vs. the world. It's their over-defensiveness of LeBron James. It's the enormous amount of attention they paid to ARod while Papi got off easy doing the same shit. ESPN has become FoxNews or MSNBC. Rather than report sports news, they are picking heroes and villains to boost ratings. And that's ****ing shady, for a site that tries to be an unbiased source for sports news.
