| Sports Editor Kang Admits She is “Not That Into Sports”

The TSL staff was appalled and betrayed late Wednesday night when sports editor
Janice Kang ’04 let it slip that she was, “actually
not that into sports.”
Kang, who professed to be an avid climber, surfer,
and rugby player, eventually conceded that she goes
to the climbing gym to “meet guys,” has
only been surfing a few times (and never got up), and
just manages the rugby team.
After the initial shock, fellow sports writers began
to feel the full weight of the revelation. Seemingly
impervious to the effect of her statement, Kang continued
on, commenting that she, “didn’t think Pomona
DIII athletics are that important, either.” The
staff may have been shocked into silence before, but
this last comment jocked them out of it. “How
could she say P-P Sagehens aren’t important?!”
shrieked Ezekial Pfiezer ’07. “I can’t
work with this woman. I quit!”
“I don’t know how I didn’t see it,”
said co-editor Hailey Anderson ’07. “I mean,
it makes so much sense now. She always had some excuse
for why she couldn’t come to the soccer game or
go climbing with me.” Other associates were equally
disillusioned. Lauren Sauter ’04 fought back tears
as Kang rambled on, “Sports are just so BORING!
“ She laughed callously. “I have much better
things to do. Oh, my cell phone!”
As it is, with Pfiezer out the door and Sauter on
the edge of a nervous breakdown, Kang will have a tough
time winning back the confidence of her writing “team.”
Anderson expressed her hesitation to continue working
with Kang: “I don’t really feel comfortable
talking to Janice about sports anymore, which is hard
because she is still my co-editor. It’s nothing
personal...I just don’t think she can understand
where I’m coming from.”
