Triumph and Tragedy in West Virginia
1392
I had every intention of talking about what a great season this was for WVU’s basketball team. But the bad news this evening out of Whitesville casts a shadow over that. It seems like every triumph of WVU sports teams is accompanied with a mining tragedy. The 2005 Sugar Bowl was joined by the Sago Mine Disaster. It’s sad, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the families.
News like this just takes the wind out of your sails. Instead of going on some rant I’m just going to ask you for a favor. You come here for sports and snark, and hopefully I give you something interesting to distract you for a couple minutes each day. So as a favor, encourage your senators and representatives to uphold the laws in place for Mine Safety.
Thanks,
John
