Nashville Sounds slighted... again

"The first Nashville professional sports head coach change."

That's how Kevin Ingram of 104.5 The Zone keeps referring to Jeff Fisher's departure from the Titans.

I don't care how long Ingram has been involved with sports, this one misstatement is enough to decertify any credentials he might have earned otherwise.

Seriously, it is.

All it does is add to the misguided notion that minor league baseball is "semi-pro."
Minor league baseball is professional baseball, period. There is no semi.

The Nashville Kats, an arena football league entry, was also a professional sports team. Again, not semi. Call it a minor sport, behind the NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA, but it was a professional team, and like the Sounds, coaches and managers came and went long before Fisher left.

Not only does Ingram say it on air, none of his on-air colleagues correct him.
It's inexcusable. It's Cris Collingworth always referring to Matt Hasselbeck as "Hasselback."
