The NFL season started last weekend, but you won’t know that if you read the local papers. The dailies may have an article from the Kansas City Star about the Chiefs, but even getting the scores of the other games is not going to happen. This is the first start of a major sports season that I have not been able to get the Tulsa World or USA Today and keep up with major league sports. Both papers pulled out in April because doubling the price, decreasing the number of pages, and not having last night’s news in it decreases sales dramatically.
I am not really into sports all, but having scores and standings used to be the baseline that defined a daily newspaper, daily being traditionally defined as at least five days a week. Our local papers will be doing well if they get Friday’s high school games in tomorrow’s edition.
