Unfortunately that's media for you. Media/News has to create controversial stories to attract viewers and CTV is especially guilty of this. Their ads always trot out the "real story will surprise you," "we'll give you the inside scoop," etc slogans to get listeners/viewers curious.Ravi wrote:Here is the report that I was just referring to: http://www.ctvnews.ca/video?playlistId=1.2126126

Well in this case the "real story will surprise" a lot of people because they never got to hear it from CTV. *roll eyes*Spud387 wrote:Unfortunately that's media for you.

Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.
