Cheeky Press and Lovely Friends

So I have been getting a hard time in the press with my work.
http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/Sport+targeting+social+engineering/9085364/story.html

But I love how special pals have jumped in with comments to balance out the reporting.
And Shark's comment first captured electronically at the bottom of the e-article (above), was even put in print (although sadly edited to miss the funniest line)!  Thanks Shark, LC, Katie and Buttercup!

Some more balanced reporting here:

And a transcript here:

All these snide remarks about Ultimate, do they know that Ultimate does not have or need any form of referee, or umpire, it relies on the honesty and integrity of the players.
"soccer" is not played in Scotland, it is Football, the game that is played worldwide, with your feet, not carried and thrown by hand.

I like the transcript best. I think the opening of the interview could be paraphrased as follows
Iain MacIntyre: "Do you like arguing?"
Ashley Howard "Love it!"

It's funny that the sport everyone seems to be so defensive about is "football" - what a joke. I'm with
Nonno on that one. Helmets, shoulder pads and lycra pedal-pushers? Please.
(As you might imagine, I don't have a hard time finding an argument round here either)
