Although I find him very cocky and annoying and enjoyed the angle of this article, I did find it sort of mean and could sense a bias in the writer. Do you think the Bark abused their power as journalists?

  (First I would like to enclose that I also have heard that Boussina is somewhat cocky and annoying from several close Redwood friends, and didn't mind the angle they took- personally)
  Professionally, I believe they abused their power as journalists. In my opinion, there are two situations that could've taken the same angle without being unprofessional: 1. if this was an opinion piece- it wasn't, and 2. if they had just used direct quotes of Boussina that coincidentally made him sound annoying. They could've easily approached the second option, but found it necessary to write their opinions in the article as well. I felt that the lines, "Boussina likes the spotlight," and "Boussina is the most prolific goal scorer in all of MCAL. And he knows it," were unnecessary. Boussina's quotes alone could have made him sound cocky in this article, without the Bark being acused of being offensive. So yes, in this situation I believe that the Bark abused it's power as a newspaper and in turn offended the subject.

  I mean in any sport, there is always going to be a superstar athlete that takes the spotlight and that is just apart of sports. As an athlete you learn to deal with it. This article was supposed to be covering sports, however it really just seamed like the author used the bark to rip on Boussina. I would be interested in finding out if the author had any internal motive writing this. It focused mainly on Boussina's attitude rather than his credit as a ball player. The quotes contexts were manipulated. I find it shocking that it would be published. It is sloppy journalism.

  There is going to be one person on every sports team that it is like Boussina, over confident and cocky. This is meant to be a sports piece, or maybe a profile of Boussina. But basically Boussina is trashed the entire article and the author puts information that shows his confidence and cockiness in the first two lines. He should have put the more relevant information in the beginning but instead puts it at the end almost as an after thought.
