HEY D.C. PAPERS! STOP IGNORING THE EAGLES!

First off, sorry for no posts for some time. This blog will be coming back and that is a promise.

Now the real business, what does AU have to do to get some good sports coverage. Americans’ Mens Basketball team is battling for the top of the Patriot League for the second year running. They are 6-1 at home and  have a better RPI ranking than Virginia and are only 12 spots behind Maryland. So if we are just as good as other area schools why is that no one at the Washington Post, or anywhere else for that matter, feel that we deserve equal local coverage?

American was one of  three regional teams to make the NCAA tournament last year but yet they are still considered a joke to people like Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post. Yes, I am calling you out sir. While in the past our campus found spirit through your colorful commentary on our lack of spirit, those days are over. Our games are packed these days, our school is following our teams closely just like A REAL SCHOOL. Why is this Dan Steinberg might ask? Because we are a real school with real sports. American is a point of pride for North West D.C. and it shows in the age spread of fans at our games (toddler to father time). This school is a becoming a respected, followed, sports school. Lets act like it D.C. sportswriters! Even Obama comes out to Bender Arena!
