The weigh-in spectacle also provides an alternative to the Flying Horses Carousel for a throng of bloodthirsty kids who would much prefer to see a big shark than ride a wooden horse in circles

I think it would be wise for us to put our two cents in with ESPN and the people of the Vineyard that it would be bad to kill the show and bad for the Vineyard to lose the OB tourney - what's next? The Derby? I'd be forced to whack every 9 million members of HSUS with celery sticks and leafy things to get the same kind of satisfaction I get from fishing the derby...

I'm not really surprised by this. You need to remember almost all of the vineyards summer residents neeeed to complain about something. They always have a cause.
Just keep in mind that the airport gets thousands of noise complaints during the summer months. Who you ask is doing the complaining? The rich people flying in and out in their private jets. you try to figure it out.  |

There was an op/ed piece in the local paper (springfield republican)last week about the tourney. It was quite obvious from the first sentence who wrote it, and it was signed.

Braintree Forum this week has an oped piece from some vegan whack-job complaining about the shark tourney. She also goes on about how fish feel pain and how the poor shark was dragged into the boat stabbed hundreds of times while it was thrashing and gasping for air. Yes, she said gasping for air.
