* Let the chin-stroking begin

March 25, 2008

ESPN.com uses this language for its headline of the Associated Press story on the Petroskey resignation:

HOF president resigns amid ‘fiduciary’ questions

The reader will note the quote marks around fiduciary.

The Hall did not detail Petroskey’s actions. Spokesman Brad Horn said the executive committee believed they weren’t criminal and that he did not benefit personally from them.

Of course, if this was the Bizzaro world, (or an episode of Seinfeld), that remark would mean the opposite.

I kinda feel bad for Petroskey. You know people are going to raise an eyebrow when they read that.

You can’t put out a comment like the Hall did – raise our eyebrows by insinuating that it was bad conduct but that no one need be bothered to learn what it was. The press should rip them stem to stern on this. Either Petroskey did something wrong, and it should be made known or they’ve slandered him, and should be sued.
