Davis Wronged By The Sporting News Cover
BUT COLUMNIST'S PORTRAYAL OF BIG AL'S RAIDERS IS RIGHT ON
Paul Attner's piece in the current issue of The Sporting News puts the spotlight on nearly everything wrong with the Raiders organization. Read it here.
Aside from the truth that Attner's cover story conveys, the cover is unbelievably demeaning to Al Davis. The headline is a bit confrontational for The Sporting News, too.
Second, they chose the worst possible photo of Davis to splatter on the cover. The Sporting News should remember that the renegade owner of the Oakland Raiders is also an elderly man struggling along with the aid of a walker for his two ailing legs.
Davis' decisions in the past decade need to be viewed in a critical manner but not by attack journalism from a second-tier sports publication.
