That ESPN would drop the article in the middle of the night in the New Zealand media in hopes that no one would notice it? Organizations, as a matter of good business practice, try to present their products in such a way that they will encounter maximum receptivity. We may or may not like the article, but I don't see anything sinister in its timing.
I surmise that comments like these are not really made in the spirit of some thoughtful, even-handed critique. Rather, they probably give vent to a visceral "a pox on all your houses" response. If so, I totally get that, and fire away!
Unfair? It’s opening day for the Mavs. The lead article on their ESPN page has this headline: “Ex-Mavs exec: Discord like high-school drama.” The second article is a two-day-old season preview for every team in the league. The third feature is a video of Giannis.
Right. Middle of the night in New Zealand was the only alternative to what they did.
