Why Johnny Can't Read In Atlanta, Philly, St Louis and Other WPS Cities

In a headline that sounds far more alarming than it really is, Johnny continues to find himself unable to read in the cities of Philadelphia, Atlanta, St Louis and whereever the cities of Sky Blue and FC Gold are located.

Though not a reflection on the education system in the United States, the fact still remains that Johnny finds himself confused and frustrated.

Fans of women's soccer in these metropolises continue to wake each morning with hopes of hearing stories about their local 11.

Said one irate fan from Sky Blue, "I find myself struggling to make it through water cooler conversations with WPS fans from the cities of Boston, Chicago, Washington and Los Angeles. Not to mention I don't even know what city Sky Blue is in."

WPS Community Leader and Boston Breaker correspondent, Todd Civin, has come up with a temporary stop gap to the lack of coverage in these cities but hopes to find a long term solution.

"Since I remain an integral piece of the 9.1 percent unemployed in the United States today, I can continue to cover the cities of Philadelphia, Atlanta, St Louis, and whereever the cities of Sky Blue and FC Gold are located, " explains Civin, who longs to turn his passion for writing and his undeniable wit and sense of humor into his own reality TV series.

"My g-o-a-a-a-l-l-s are to provide these cities with up to the minute coverage while at the same time fullfilling my life long dream of eating a hot dog in every major U.S. city."

Civin sees the long term solution, however, as recruiting a writer or group of writers to provide WPS coverage in these cities. The WPS has become a big supporter of the Bleacher Report coverage for their fledgling league and even has plans to link their popular WPS website with the Bleacher Report coverage.

So in a temporary moment of seriousness, if you or anyone you know has a passion for writing sports, has an interest in women's soccer and a desire to hone your craft while writing for the WPS, please drop me an email at [e-mail].

I'd love to see a writing sample and will select the top writer from each city to receive media credentials from your team to all home regular season games next season.

Remember, you and only you can help Johnny read and then and only then will he be able to tell us where the cities of Sky Blue and FC Gold are on the map. Ole, Ole!...Ole, Ole, Ole!
