Around SBN: Events Cause Mariners To Lose To Rangers

This is incredible stuff right here. Reading or listening to something get spun six ways from Sunday is always an interesting thing but this just goes to new levels. Excerpt:

Accusation:
"…the company…has been criticized for violent and sexually suggestive programming."
Peter Wallsten – The Wall Street Journal – July 2, 2010

Truth:
* All of WWE’s programming has been TV-PG since June 2008.
* Friday Night SmackDown, which made its network debut in 1999 has always been rated TV-PG.
* 87 percent of WWE fans say WWE content is appropriate for families.
* Of the 14 million weekly viewers in the United States that watch WWE programming, six million are women.

Accusation:
"The company also has been accused of looking the other way as wrestlers, feeling pressured to maintain the pumped-up bodies showcased in the W.W.E., turned to steroids."
- Ray Hernandez & Joshua Brustein – The New York Times – July 15, 2010

Truth:
* WWE’s Talent Wellness Policy strictly prohibits the use of steroids, the abuse of prescription medications, performance enhancing drugs and the use, possession and/or distribution of illegal drugs.
* WWE’s entire substance abuse and drug testing policy is independently administered by third party leading medical experts.
* The Talent Wellness Program is designed to result in all WWE Talent being tested at a minimum four times a year, but may result in more frequent testing due to the random selection process.
