Daily Advertiser is Actively Boycotting Louisiana

[ZoomZoom]

From the sports news cast in NOLA their women are outdrawing their men. At least in the first 5 rows. Reminded me of a UL-LoTec game I went to in the Marty era. After the women game their arena seating lost about 30% of their fans.

Went to the first games held in the TAC at El Aye Tech. First game, packed house, Cheryl Miller and USC v Lady Necksters. SRO.

Place empty down to about 1,500, Cajuns christened their new building with a win.

Are we sure its stupidity? Most say Washington Post lost a heck of a lot of money too, but also got owner a huge tax writeoff.

I know several have written to them and gotten the same pass the buck answer. So that seems like a dead end.

Aside from just not subscribing, what other recourse does a community have to get their local paper to cover local sports news?

I used to like getting the advertiser. I have a ton of papers saved from big UL wins. It’s been some time since I’ve added a new one to the stack.

Pull their media credentials. And be done with it.

I had a guy sitting in front of me at the basketball game on Thursday checking the score of the lspooo women's basketball game. Come on, it is women's basketball.

Sexist.

This is why we can’t ever have anything nice . . .

I subscribed to the Advertiser from 1995 to 2019. When I called to cancel they kept trying to offer me a cheaper package to keep them in some form. Finally I cut the person off and said you don’t understand I am not giving you people another freaking dime of my money.

My cancelation was 2 fold their extreme left wing political coverage along with their lack of Cajuns coverage.

No one should ever confuse the Advertiser today with a LOCAL paper.

Preach brother!

Does Cory even have credentials and attend the games and press conferences? Seems like a massive waste of time to show up and not write a sentence about it.

Top headline of the online version is talking about a team a hour away with 10 straight losses rather than the team in your backyard with 10 straight wins. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

I hate that this bothers me this much, but it does. These players, these teams, this university deserve better. They deserve to be seen in the damn local paper.

At this point you would have to assume there is some agenda against the University or just complete incompetence and the paper should just be shut down.

Either way our school and community deserves better.

The Advocate is all we have at this point.

MBB are first in conference and WBB are two overtime games out of first in conference and all some here are worried about is the local newspaper and firing our basketball coaches . . . And they wonder when we can’t have anything nice here . . . well there you go . . .

Yes. All this success and no coverage. Crazy. I know.

Thanks for reminding us! I checked the local paper and assumed our basketball programs were disbanded.
