bad journalism
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch blames the local sports commission for its own oversight.As he looked at the long-range sports calendar on the front page of his Post-Dispatch sports section Friday, St. Louis Sports Commission President Frank Viverito wondered about an event that didn't make the April cut.
"I guess we have a little work to do in terms of awareness," Viverito said.
The event? The NCAA Tournament men's basketball Final Four, which will return to St. Louis for the first time since 1978 - a generation gap during which the magnitude and scope of the occasion were radically transformed.
Credit Viverito with being kind to his hometown paper.
