From last week’s column by Michael Deeds:
• OLYMPIC-SIZE FOOL? Even without considering that the Idaho Statesman is helping sponsor the 2009 Special Olympics Winter World Games, it was insensitive for me to write in a Sept. 28 column that “Salt Lake City hosted the Winter Olympics. We get the Special Olympics.” It wasn’t my intent to offend the Special Olympics contenders or readers, merely to note that Salt Lake hosting the 2002 Winter Olympics would be considered a more significant event for a city. I apologize for the unintended offense.
When I read the line on September 28th, I logged on here to make hay of the obvious gaffe - but showed (uncharacteristic) restraint because repeating that nasty comment would just give it more power. It’s good to see the apology.
