Strapped

Alan Aldrich was a sports reporter
some declared he was a news distorter.
He denied their gripes
and said by all rights
He was just an athletic supporter.

Thanks, Jan. When I was about 12, my Mother said we had to go to a sporting goods store and buy an "athletic supporter." I had no idea what she was talking about. I soon, however, got the hang of it.
