Sports Editorials

In my early years of college I served as the Sports Editor for the local school newspaper. Among the more enjoyable aspects of this job was the chance to editorialize on just about anything I felt like writing on. Below are a few of my favorite articles . . .

Popularity Isn't Everything The most popular sports in America--bad news if you're a hockey fan!



Aviation

Aviation Safety: Or, Why the cheapest seat on the plane is the one next to the cargo door, adds humor to an otherwise sober subject, that of commercial airline safety. Several well-known accidents are used as case studies.
