Public Shaming

The News:
According to TIME NewsFeed, the North Korean Soccer (Football) Team was forced to stand in public for six hours while being shamed and berated.  They were forced to blame the World Cup Losses on their coach, who has been forced out of the Workers' Party of Korea to become a builder.  Apparently this is all actually GOOD NEWS, because they COULD have been sent to prison camps. 

The UnScoop:
I wanted my first UnScoop post to be snarky and silly, but the thought of the fear these guys must have been going through on their ride home took the snark right out of me. Well, mostly.

The UnScoop here is, in America our losing teams are subjected to public shaming, we just call it News Media and Internet. Coaches lose their jobs, but they usually have something a little more cushy to fall back on than building. However, we don't send our athletes to prison camps for losing...heck, we don't even send them to prison for breaking the law!


ORIGINAL NEWS STORY:
After World Cup Humiliation, North Korean Team is Publicly Shamed

The UnScoop Begins!

What, you may ask, is The UnScoop. 
First let me give you the definition of SCOOP (as taken from Dictionary.com).  Well PART of the definition, the part that has anything to do with anything right now...

scoop /skup/ Show Spelled[skoop]  –noun

18.to get the better of (other publications, newscasters, etc.) by obtaining and publishing or broadcasting a news item, report, or story first: They scooped all the other dailies with the story of the election fraud.

 

The UnScoop won't give you new amazing facts about news.  Rather it will give you rants and opinions, and they will probably be narrow, or out dated.  We don't keep up with the news very closely...just like to rant when something rubs us the wrong way.
