       | Absolutely horrible writing. F in grammar, spelling, style, etc.
       | Hard to read not because of the subject material but because of
       | the bad writing! Is this what "writers" consider good now?

         | The writing imo is some of the best I've seen in a while. Did
         | you read the article to completion? The writer personally spoke
         | with a number of involved individuals in person, this is real
         | investigative journalism and here you are spouting a couple of
         | weak claims without backing them in any way.
         | 
         | No one accused you of being critical because of the subject
         | material but your offering of that as a reason for your
         | criticism is very telling.

         | Ok, but can you please not post shallow off-topic complaints to
         | HN? If you don't like this article, there are others to read.
         | Rushing to the comments to vent about some provocation just
         | makes for bad threads.

       | This is life, at some point it is thrust into your face that

       | better.

       | Participation in competitive sports can be a good way to learn to
       | deal with this at an earlier age. Every level, from youth to
       | junior high to JV to Varsity to college/minor and ultimately pro
       | has a talent filter. You can be good on your middle school team
       | and then in high school find that you don't make the Varsity cut.
