I see what you are saying, but if they stratigically placed their words to ensure avoiding giving wrestling any credit then that is far worse.
I think you're overthinking it, the jocks behind desks arent much more than mouthpieces for the writers anyway, so they probably fucked up and didnt give credit where credit is due, because they are also disrespecting the softball program who won it all in 98 as well. This happens a lot in sports reporting people often do the bare minimum of research and call it good, because they dont have time or ther're lazy. I know enough sports writers to know thats how things work. So chalk it up to a lazy day in bristol, not a conspiracy to keep a sport down.
