One For the Sports Writer

One For The Sports Writer When young kids achieve successes in competitions... Parents, they bubble with pride and hanker for some recognition... Hey, you know something? My kid, he just aced the competition... Yup, my son (or daughter), he has just emerged the champion... Here, look at today's news, there's his (her) picture there... I have numerous other cuttings about his victories here and there... Yeah, your son (daughter) too went for the competition, right...? How did he (her) fare, the competition was tough alright!... Huh? You're right, your son (daughter), his name is not mentioned!.... Oh no! Looks like Mr Sports Writer overlooked him (her) in reporting... Or maybe he had constraints like space in the paper to consider... I'm sure there was no malice, he's just doing his job as a reporter.. Hey, steady there! Please have a kind word for the diligent Mr Sports Writer. .. He always does his utmost best in each piece of news he has written.. Another thing, Mr Sports Writer whom we might know.... He deserves our appreciation and all your thank yous... For doing his job of reporting with a conscience and a passion... That surpass, at times, even those of the children's parents... He diligently sources for information from the online draws... Yes, doing that is a most tedious affair , I can assure you all... Believe me , people! Mr Sports Writer, if he wants to, can choose to ignore your news... After all, all our players, none are his blood relations, what else is new..? So, what is in there for him to get all excited about... All your stupendous news, he can choose to ignore them all... So ladies and gentlemen, the world is bigger than just you, me or our young ones... Buy Mr Sports Writer a drink o two, so sporting of him, regularly reporting sports news... Thank you, Mr Sports Writer! Have a nice day, Have a great day, today, and everyday...!
