Eastern Michigan Fight Reveals Disconnect Between DI Haves and Have Nots SOURCE: news.theopenmat.com April 02, 2018
Early Friday morning, the @emunews Twitter account, which is the news source representing Eastern Michigans Division of Communications, put out a Tweet highlighting what they no doubt considered a particularly poignant line from Dan Baumans article entitled Here Are the Hottest College Sports and the Ones in Decline. The tweet read, From @chronicle: In choosing to eliminate teams like womens tennis and mens wrestling, Eastern Michigan is swimming with the tide. Over the course of the last decade, colleges athletics departments at all levels have dropped those and other sports in decline. #EMU. Because the Division of Communications is a school-sponsored marketing organization, rather than a journalistic endeavor, the message is not surprising. Taking up whatever narrative supports the administration is what they are there to do. However, cherry picking this one line in an article that does a poor job of supporting its thesis exposes the lie that is being force fed to the community. Comments |
