Talk:Ed Cunningham

Commentary Controversy
In response to this. The only two links I see that meet newsblog are big12sports.com and huskerextra.com. my.journalstar.com is not a newsblog. Per the site (emphasis mine), "my.JournalStar.com is a civic social network for people, groups and businesses located in Nebraska... At my.JournalStar.com, every person can have a personal blog and photo gallery as well as a profile... You can post anything you’d like here, within reason. Check out terms of service for the full rundown of do’s and don’ts, but it basically boils down to common sense and common courtesy. If you wouldn’t say it in public, don’t post it in public." No where does the site claim to have editorial control over the posts at my.journalstar.com. (Source: the What is this place? link; have to click on the link since the link is a pop-up window.) Since people can post anything they want, and the site does not claim to have any editorial over site, my.JournalStar.com is considered a self published source, which is not a reliable source and inappropriate for use.

Regarding youtube. Since the youtube videos are of the event, they are the primary source of information. We can not use the event itself as the source, and claim the event is controversial when neither of the secondary sources (big12sports.com and huskerextra.com) make that claim. To do so is original research. The only reliable source that even mentions Cunningham is huskerextra.com, where the context of the article is about a meeting; not about a controversy. As such, we don't have a controversy to include. Akerans (talk) 21:54, 3 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I have included several verifiable links that provide evidence of his commentary controversial content, where the comments were directly responded to by head coaches of several teams. There are other links for each instance, if those need to be included please let me know and I will do so.  Give me the opportunity to do so before removing the material, so we can discuss it here.  His commentary was quite controversial for a number of teams, from Penn State, to Nebraska, to Michigan, Iowa, the list goes on and on.  It is novel that Cunningham had such concern for certain issues, but to ignore the fact that his concern played into commentary controversy is doing a disservice to those affected by the commentary in question.  Thank you for your consideration in this matter. 2600:1005:B161:54AB:4AC:7527:51F2:8B76 (talk) 22:10, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
