ESPN/Action’s West Coast Editor Micah Abrams has jumped in on the unexploded “Slater Tour” grenade with more thoughts on a story that keeps getting written regardless of the complete dearth of facts, quotes, or any new angles whatsoever.
How nice must it be for Terry Hardy, the main instigator of the hypothetical tour, to get so much media play for not saying anything to anyone. At this rate his “Champions Tour” could surpass the world cup in hype without anyone having to release one bit of concrete information.
Abrams, however, has thought deeply about the new tour and what it could mean and lays it down much more concisely than most, even though his employer (Disney/ESPN) has potentially more to gain from a new surf tour than anyone.
Someday this will all sort out, and we can look back and laugh. . . hopefully.
