Again negative news about Iverson

Posted October 04, 2007 on gretch's Blog:
Seems that all the mainstream press has to report is negative news. Here is a story about Allen Iverson from the Green Bay Press Gazette. I read it just now, in the paper, and I couldn't find it on their website. So I'll write it out here. Allen Iverson has been sued for not showing up, this time to speak to his fans. The lawsuit filed in Douglas County(Neb.) District Court says the Denver Nuggets star didn't come to a weekend of booked appearances in Omaha in early August, leaving fans at a youth rally and two clubs without their main attraction. The promoter who tried to bring the "Answer" to Omaha wants one instead-and about $44,000 in damages. Kermit Brashear, the lawyer for the promotion company that booked Iverson for the events, said they know nothing more than what Iverson's representatives told HYB Entertainment promoter Dave Chambers: That Iverson had a family emergency. But of course we hear nothing of Iverson's saving of those young women in the mainstream media. Why are we so conditioned to accepting/expecting only bad news?
