There's No Place Like Detroit!
Not for a Class Blog...
A recent article on ESPN.com "There's No Place Like Detroit" FINALLY states what I have been saying all along! There is no place like Detroit...and everyone else is just jealous!
"Beginning this week during the Major League Baseball All-Star festivities, he city of Detroit will be brutalized by sportswriters from across the country. The maiming and name-calling and dissing won't stop until the completion of Super Bowl XL.
Beating up on Detroit is easy. As the center of the free-falling automotive industry, known chiefly for crime, high unemployment and urban blight, Detroit is an easy target. Motown's 30-something mayor wears an earring, zoot suits and, if you believe the whispers, throws a house party that would make Snoop blush.
Yeah, making fun of Detroit is about as trouble-free as cracking a fat joke on Kirstie Alley. I've done both. It's really nothing to brag about. But the truth is, especially when it comes to sports, Detroit is as good as it gets."
My Favorite quote from the article is "Detroit is the big, sweaty woman squeezed into a size-10 dress, daring anybody to suggest her body ain't booming."

Here, here! I am from Detroit, too and am tired of the beating it gets. Some well deserved, however, I think that most reporters just like to pile on the D, because like you said, it is an easy target.
