EDITORIAL EXCLUSIVE from HOLLYWOOD, California – Whoever crafted the Yahoo Rankings as to who is the No.1 boxer in the planet must have done a sloppy job, a dishonorable miscalculation which panel of writers excludes sportwriters of Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Daily Telegraph, La Opinion and also other writers from famous newspapers, internet sites such as Examiner.com, Sweet Science and etc. Is it because they are labeled as pro-Pacquiao? How about Kevin Iole of Yahoo and some of his cohorts who are obviously anti-Pacquiao? Should they count their votes in such survey to ensure impartiality?
Consider this:Google even addmitted that it mistakenly collected data on web usage, to which such actuation is respectable. Can Yahoo technocrats do the same?
Would they know if the alleged woman really transforms into Michael Jackson?
It is so obvious, nevertheless, Manny Pacquiao was pre-judged by using a carefully selected jury from different publications only after a thorough examination of the potential stand of each participants with identifiable choosing. No one must fault these writers of the results. The framers of the polls survey are to blame, not even its system of conduct but the systemizer. Other than Los Angeles Times writers, several writers as well were singled out such as Steve Kim of Maxboxing.com, Frank Lortizo of Sweet Science, Gareth A. Davies of Telegraph and etchetera.
Maybe, just maybe, these technocrats really believe that President Obama is right when he thinks LeBron James would look great in a Bulls uniform much in the way as with that Yahoo Rankings, which triggers the rest of the sportswriters on a sneaking suspicion, all simply to fire up the resumption of the Mayweather-Pacquiao negotiation.
Conversely, Yahoo Rankings polls survey does not fairly represent a credible tally of jurors, so to speak. But, the participant as distinguished must have been pre-calculated to establish the final desired outcome.
Yahoo, a giant publication, should model a well-sounding protocol in matters of conducting this said polls survey. Maybe, just maybe, Kevin Iole, anti-Pacmanian writer of Yahoo Sports, and his cohorts over-assertively believe in the doctrine of predistination, of which Floyd Mayweather, Jr. rides free being an American athlete.
To establish further credibility of Yahoo Sports Rankings, these same writers from Yahoo Sports should be modest enough to exclude themselves from the said survey.
Another, Yahoo Rankings should fairly represent voters from other segments and ethnic groups since Yahoo, though an American firm, targets a worldwide audience.
What more could one expect from Yahoo Rankings when the intricacy of its selection lacks credibility and validation as with other prominent publications?
Were there preliminary discussions of criteria before the process of voting waws done?
The big thing is that a credible survey should not be a unilaterally exclusive in gathering votes as evidence. It should preserve impartiality and, at least, minimize biases.
Kevin Iole and his cohorts should just swallow the results. They know better than what the results being made public.
