ADVOCATE writer Randy Rosetta's headline wasn't too cool

in my opinion. For those of you who haven't seen SUNDAY'S SPORTS headline in the ADVOCATE, it says..... "Heroes step forward". Even though I was reading the sports section, the headline caught me off guard. I am kind of a sports junkie but I think the word "hero" should be a more reserved word used for those in the military, the parents who raise mentally challenging children, the ones who struggle everyday to make life better for those less fortunate... the list goes on and on. Sure, LSU had its share of people who stepped up their game yesterday, but the word "hero" is not one that I would have used. Oh yeah, today is FLAG DAY in case anyone cares. My flag hangs from my front yard tree every day to remind me of the heroes both past and present that have fought for me and you. God Bless America on this celebration of Flag Day and

I tend to agree, but I wouldn't be so hypersensitive...its just baseball, lighten up.

dude, you've got too much time on your hands.

FWIW, the copy editors write the headlines, not the writers.

If you're looking for a fall guy for the sake of this discussion it's not Rosetta. It's the page designer - the person in charge of the page -- that writes the headlines and cutlines under the picture.

Sports pages are sold on hyperbole.

says the man (rutiger) with over 23 hundred posts, to the man (raparoot) with less than 4 hundred posts.

I think you're reading WAY too much into that headline.

You've made up your own definition of hero and they didn't get the memo.
Posted on 6/14/09 at 2:11 pm to Raparooot
you can't be serious?

Ochinko saved my cat from a burning tree. He is a hero.

*Insert LSURussian's obligatory post about how Carl Dubois would have made a better headline.

You know, Im a pretty conservative guy who respects the military and our firefighters and police men and women and parents of special children etc etc etc...
But come on...this is a sports column and he's talking about "SPORTS" heros. And since I love what student athletes and other amateur athletes represent...I would say it's not that big of a deal to call certain things "heroic" when talking about sports.
Its not like there was a column talking about the heroic mailman who delivered all his mail in a blizzard or something...

Amazing. 17 posts so far and nobody has said "Happy Flag Day" to anyone. O.K. I'm an a-hole. But I'm a patriotic a-hole. Oh yeah, Happy Flag Day.
