Bravo, WPS

By: Melissa | Comments 3 Comments

It’s almost as if WPS staffers intentionally timed their controversial twitter idea just to ride the publicity wave started by Charlie Villanueva and Shaquille O’Neal. This ESPN article does a nice job of recapping the story so I’ll just go ahead and quote them:
