Originally seen here and on this very cool new user submits the story site called iSpotAStory out of NYC (met the brains behind this site when I lived there, glad to see she is really pushing it hard these days!). CBS rejects ManCrunch.com Superbowl ad. Technically Speaking, I thought this was America 2010, apparently hate, discrimination, and homophobia all run wild no matter what the news media tells you, even $2.6 million isn&#8217;t going to make this commercial air on Super Bowl Sunday!

I was impressed to find that they have a Minor League sports page! Wow! I was thinking &#8220;they must have them listed here&#8220;. Nope. If you want a good laugh and to show you how out of touch the sports departments are concerning coverage of minor league sports in the supposed city that is known for it&#8217;s sports (that would be the big STL) &#8211; click on the STL SkyHawks for that example! Don&#8217;t you love it? A link to a minor league basketball team that is some page not related to that team. Looks to be a splog. Yet, where is the link to the minor league indoor football team &#8211; the RiverCity Rage? I didn&#8217;t even bother to see if the other links work. I thought the STL liked it&#8217;s sports championship caliber teams? No matter if it is pro, college or even high school.

<p>Wow! I was thinking &#8220;<em>they must have them listed here</em>&#8220;. <strong>Nope</strong>. If you want a good laugh and to show you how out of touch the sports departments are concerning coverage of minor league sports in the supposed city that is known for it&#8217;s sports (that would be the big STL) &#8211; click on the <a href="http://www.stlskyhawks.com/">STL SkyHawks</a> for that example! </p>

<p>Don&#8217;t you love it? A link to a minor league basketball team that is some page <em>not related</em> to that team. Looks to be a splog. Yet, where is the link to the minor league indoor football team &#8211; the<a href="http://www.ragefootball.com"> RiverCity Rage</a>? I didn&#8217;t even bother to see if the other links work. </p>
<p>I thought the STL liked it&#8217;s sports championship caliber teams? No matter if it is pro, college or even high school. I guess the exception to that rule comes when it it&#8217;s a winning football team, yes indoor football is different, but I find it enjoyable to watch. Hey &#8211; when you consider the debacle we have had to watch as a football fan in the STL for the past few years with our supposed major league NFL representation, the Rage actually do things well on the field. Plus they win when it counts &#8211; the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwq7BYOnDrM"><em>playoffs</em></a>!</p>
<p>Technically Speaking, doesn&#8217;t surprise me one bit, as KSDK&#8217;s site has to be the most supposedly updated yet archaic example of good web design &#8211; they still have <em>pop under ads</em> as an example of what I mean, which annoys me to no end. When did that advertising trend end? Like 2002? </p>
