ABDB Ep. 6: Tribalism, Twitter and the new sports journalism

Posted by Morgan Campbell on May 17, 2011 · Leave a Comment

We return to the Penthouse for the most provocative episode yet. While Osama bin Laden’s death reveals that tribalism survives and thrives in North America, it also spawns some really shoddy sports journalism. Yours truly examines the three pillars on which good stories stand — Facts, Acts and Quotes — while the crew takes a critical look at the success of UFC 129, Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista, and gambling rings that surround little league football in south Florida.

The P in Morgan P. Campbell? It stands for “Pugilism,” “Parallel” and “Penny Lover.”
