Times reports on school visit by Nets coach and two dancers: "Nets Already In Brooklyn"
Atlantic Yards Report
In trying to encourage better nutrition, school cafeterias these days are trying to steer students' tastes away from cold cuts. However, some baloney found its way to students of Brooklyn's Middle School 51 by way of the New Jersey Nets. The New York Times dutifully passed said baloney onto its readers.
The New York Times Metro section doesn't see fit to report on, say, the curious appointment of Arana Hankin as Atlantic Yards Project Manager, but the newspaper so often has room to promote gratuitous Nets fluff.
Remember that long Metro section article last January about promoting the Nets in Brooklyn or that Sports section puff piece last November about Devin Harris?
Well, yesterday the Sports section offered a standalone photo showing new Nets coach Avery Johnson at a middle school in Brooklyn, accompanied by two Nets dancers in very short skirts (great role model, right?). No players apparently showed up
