Today's front page story is Venus beating Serena in the semi-finals of the Dubai Open. Not front page of the sports section, front page of the newspaper. This country follows tennis closer than America follows football. During the US Open and Austrailian Open they'd dedicate four pages a day to reach round of play. Also, if you want to know how US centric thinking is here... well, who won the other semi-final match? To learn that you'd have to go to the sports section. Today Venus won the final and I'd bet money she'll be on the cover of every newspaper tomorrow.
The other story gets two columns. When an adversary like Iran - that is only a couple of hundred miles away - can get a nuclear weapon it should be on the first page. Just make sure it doesn't overshadow Venus.
Well... Were you correct?! Was Venus on the cover of the newspaper today?
ReplyDeleteI didn't buy any of the papers today (too busy to actually read them) but, yes, Venus was on the cover of every paper.
ReplyDeleteHey, look at that photo again. The Williams sisters' leg muscles are definitely more potent than a couple nukes.
