This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

There's a labor shortage sports teams are dealing with. by G.K.Chesterton
Last week, the Milwaukee paper had a front-page story stating the Packers, Brewers, and Bucks were all scrounging for workers.
Game-day workers are in high demand, not only at American Family Field, but at Fiserv Forum and Lambeau Field for the Bucks and Packers. Add to the mix huge events like the Ryder Cup in Sheboygan, and the job numbers quickly soar.
Hundreds of sports-venue positions are open at a time when employers across the state are clamoring for hired help. For some games, Delaware North, the concessions management company for the Brewers and Packers, has brought in workers from the Twin Cities and Chicago.
“We are pretty much always looking for people,” said Nicole Venturini, a Delaware North recruiter in Milwaukee.
