LOL. What a bunch of fairies. Changing it is actually worse!

This is more than a little disappointing.

There should have been nothing less than an apologize and a retraction. A complimentary full page color ad saying Go Ponies on Thursday's edition would be a nice start in making amends.

Now it makes no sense at all

So effin' ridiculous!

I got an undeliverable notice...

same here

Nichols has done a good job too. This is such a shame. Color add would make up for it though imo.

I sent an email early this morning asking for an explanation. I still haven't received a response.

OK now they have changed the wording in the original post (from pulling to bracket). This is just comical at this point.

And while I'm stirred up about it dont forget:

Belo=DMN=WFAA=Dale Hansen= Pile on SMU with "investigative journalism" and ignore UT improprieties.

This is just stupid. They should just take down.

FYI-The DMN sports department has nothing to do with it, coming from and supported by digital department.

#NeverForget #YesTheyDid

DMN sports actually had to lobby them just to get clarification put up.

Are you saying that the Editor of the Sports Section cannot pick up the phone and with a single call get this changed? He needs to beg the digital department to change a headline on a sports story and in the end agrees to a compromise that makes his staff look weak, ineffectual... Well basically p$Ssies. If that is indeed the case, there are more problems at the DMN than what they think about SMU

Original writer of banner said they would not take it down, but they support SMU. Just don't understand that.

That is exactly correct. I would agree with you that Sports Editor should be able to smash, but digital rules their own show.

Put it up in the SMU locker room. Need something to counteract the chip growing on UCLA's shoulder after they've been relentlessly verbally bashed about making the tourney.

Then there is no point in the Editor being there if your distribution channels control content or editorial slant. Fire him and save $100k.

Everyone go report the post as spam. It will be annoying for them to have to deal with it from Facebook over so many spam reports.

I said it was spam for, and I'm not kidding, one of the options is "being spammy"
