It Doesn't Make CENTS!

Professional men's tennis players make millions of dollars!

Professional women's softball players make? CENTS?

So, why did the (UC)LA Times reporter Chris Foster write numerous headline articles about UCLA's Women's Softball Team before and after their first round NCAA games last weekend? The Bruins are just in the Super-Regionals. They haven't even made it to the Softball World Series.

Then, the same (UC)LA Times has not written any separate articles (let alone with a headline) about the USC Men's Tennis Team, who is playing for its 17th Title in today's NCAA Men's Tennis Championship, after defeating Texas 4-1 in the semi-finals yesterday. This morning the (UC)LA Times only put a 34 word, two-paragraph blurb in the "ETC." section of "The Day in Sports" about USC's victory. The third paragraph of the blurb mentions UCLA losing to Ohio State 4-3 in the other semi-final.

No USC headline article. No players or coaches interviews. NOTHING!

This inverse coverage of sport's popularity is DUAL BIAS!!!

Bruin softball over Trojan tennis AND UCLA women over USC men!!!

It doesn't make CENTS!
