San Francisco Chronicle columnist Ann Killion keeps calling Stanford out

Published: May 5, 2021, 3:59 p.m.

Longtime sports journalist Ann Killion of the San Francisco Chronicle joins the Short Time Wrestling Podcast to talk about the situation at Stanford. Now a columnist after impressive career stops at the Los Angeles Times, San Jose Mercury News and Sports Illustrated, Killion\u2019s job is to offer her perspective on topics in and around sports and the Stanford drop of 11 sports definitely got her attention.

Killion and I will talk about why this is an important topic for a columnist to pay attention to, what the local media\u2019s role is in talking about topics like this which are often overlooked due to reader surveys and topics that \u201cdon\u2019t sell papers,\u201d and why Stanford\u2019s leadership should be held accountable and have to actually answer for their decisions. Killion also points out some of the fallacies in the posted rationale and what\u2019s happened with Stanford sports since the announcement last summer.
