 | | A bunch of other blogs followed, including Eric Alterman (who made fun of Andrew for linking to such a thing), and Dan Savage, who linked from his blog on The Stranger's website, in the process referring to my post as "insightful observations." Coming from one of my absolute favorite writers, that's quite a compliment. |
 | | In the story, the Bee erroneously reported that Wells, while with Portland, had been arrested for both "marijuana possession" and "domestic abuse," while also being responsible for "locker room tussles." The incorrect language, according to the Bee's ombudsman, was inserted by a copy editor, and not by Davidson himself. |
 | | So the Bee ran a correction, which rather than clarify that specific Blazers players other than Wells had suffered the arrests and caused the fights, was worded in such a way as to suggest that the entire Portland team, as opposed to individual players, had scuffled, beaten their wives, and taken drugs. |
