Oh my f*cking god!!!!!
I have been rarely out of myself like I am right now. Some people should keep their day job and never try to improvise themselves as authors.
I recently joined a website called Sportingo.com thinking that this was a good way to publish some of my articles. I tought the website was operated by serious people and/or professionals because the site looked good and a lot of articles were published on the site about a wide range of sports. I submitted a few hours ago my story about Ryan Smyth's trade and press conference. An article that you can read just a bit below. I came back a few minutes ago to see if they published it.
What I saw horrified me completely. The editors modified my article, making it look like a 4 year old schoolboy essay. Here is what they published in it's entirety. Take a deep breath because this is nothing else but sabotage.
- Now you can compare with today's post in here called: When a greedy man cries....
- I absolutely submitted the exact same text to Sportingo.com They even invented the location of the press conference saying that it was held in New-York. The press conference was held at the Edmonton airport BEFORE Smyth's departure for New-York. And to make matters worse there are Reuters journalists that work on that site...yikes! I tought they were hiring GOOD journalists!
- Somebody slap me please.

You should try BleacherReport - its similar to Sportingo but with more of an edge and a focus on unadulterated opinions.
Our editors won't rewrite your articles - we'll just fix any typos or grammatical errors and publish your work, where it will get syndicated on Google News, 9rules, and other aggregators.
BleacherReport's hockey section could definitely use a talented writer like yourself to add some color to the debate. We promise your work will be able to stand on its own, and we always let you include a link back to your blog.
We're currently working on improvements that will let help you promote your blog and add readers through Bleacher Report, as well as ways to give our writers even more control over the site and its content.
So take a look and give it a try. If you like it, register for an account and start submitting articles.
Looking forward to seeing you out there.
Wow, terrible use of a great article. Guess you won't be submitting articles there anymore lol.
Great blog btw, going to have to visit you more often for hockey news, hehe.
