Hockey is a bit outside of our normal interests here but the Chip Alexander story is hard to ignore.
If you haven’t heard, Alexander, who covers the Carolina Hurricanes for Raleigh’s News & Observer, was asked to call into a Boston sports radio show. After a few minutes, co-host Fred Toettcher said he couldn’t take a guy with a southern accent talking about hockey and hung up on him.
Apparently not fully understanding what happened, Alexander tried to call back, obviously to no avail.
This sort of reminds us of another recent outburst, where a Silicon Valley type said he didn't like having to deal with “bumpkins” from other parts of the country because he said, let’s face it, we know better and we should rule them.
