Carmelo Anthony and the Perils of In-Flight Publishing
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 12.20.06 | 2:33 PM ET
The December issue of Northwest Airlines’ in-flight magazine features a cover story on Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony. Yes, the same Carmelo Anthony who was just suspended for taking part in a brawl during a game over the weekend. As a result, the airline has decided to pull the magazine off its planes and replace it with the January issue. As the airline said in a statement, “Northwest does not want to appear to condone in any way the behavior of some of the players during Saturday’s game, including Mr. Anthony.” We at World Hum salute the airline and would like show our solidarity: We won’t be publishing any travel stories by Mr. Anthony or any of the other players involved in the brawl. Sorry, Mr. Anthony, but you’ll have to send any travel stories you may or may not have written elsewhere.
