Britain's media attitude to sports people - especially regards tennis players!? |
Is it just me or does it seem strange to others that when the TV news programs do the sports sections they will pretty much always mention the results of say Tim Henman getting knocked out in the first round of the Moscow Under Eights Open, or Andy Murray pulls out of the Azerbijan Invitational because he cut his nails but yet when say maybe the same weekend someone like James Toseland had won a World Superbike double in front of 100,000 fans at Brands Hatch it does not get a squeak? I have nothing against tennis nor is my point just about bike racing but it seems like we produce champions in so many sports who don't get any mention yet fixate on some and rather publicise their failures. In this scenario the bike racing actually pulls in some of the biggest crowds in the UK for any event in any given year. The medias attitude towards sport is rubbish and in the gutter like most of the media. My sport cycling has just had it's premier event of the year, The Tour de France. Of course the only news coverage it gets is drugs, drugs, drugs not a mention of the racing or the winner. Pathetic. its stupid but you don't just have to be champion to be on the news the media have to like you to put there or a juicy story like drugs or cheating otherwise their not bothered |
