Oh, dear.
This article popped up around 8PM last night under the headline "Sport and politics collide when Hoboken mayoral candidate picks fight with Eli Manning."
Overnight, the paper changed it to the pithy and eye-catching:
Hoboken mayoral challenger disses Eli Manning for supporting Dawn Zimmer's re-election
GA agrees, the second title is more of an attention-grabber. I wonder if this is in today's print edition.In any case, the delayed appearance of this suggests this story has 'legs' and is poised to go national. When a political candidate attacks a hometown sports hero, well...
Now, if I had anything to do with that campaign, I'd bite the bullet and re-direct the narrative with a press conference or even a second letter apologizing for the first one. Eat a little crow then move on instead of allowing it to fester and spread. That's me.
But who listens to me?
