They Won't Use the F-Word

Note to Seattle Times editors: We think you are taking this "Seattle nice" thing a bit too far. Huskies head football coach Tyrone Willingham was fired today, not "forced to resign." When AD Scott Woodward says, "We made the decision to terminate him," you don't get much more fired than that. UPDATE: In the first hours after Willingham's firing, most local news organizations were using the word 'fired' in related stories on their websites. Later in the day, Fox13, KING, KIRO and KOMO all have edited their stories from 'fired' to 'forced to resign'. How cute.
