Why does The Sun's sports department constantly report on which team "lost" the championship rather than which team won?
Recently, there were three such reports in the sports headlines: For the soccer state championships — "Howard girls lose in 4-A final, 1-0."
Yet undefeated Walt Whitman actually won the game. Why not mention them in the headline?
For the Class 3A Girls Volleyball State Championship — "No. 3 Glenelg swept by North Hagerstown."
Why isn't that headline "North Hagerstown sweeps Glenelg?"
And for the Class 4A Boys Soccer State Championship — "No. 5 Chesapeake-AA falls, 4-1." Again, Walt Whitman won the game. Why aren't they in the headline?
I have no affiliation with any of these schools, but give some credit to the winners. They deserve the headlines.
