[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm also from LA. People over estimate that anyone can even name Obama's daughters yet alone can name who the current VP is. I'm a politically active upper middle class person. People are far more likely to follow sports than politics. It's a fact. You all are forgetting that hardly like than 1/3 Americans can name 3 branches of govt or anyone in Supreme Court. Sidwell is not more famous than Dematha, Gonzaga, or St John's. I'd also now add in PVI in the last 2 years.

WCAC is the most dominant basketball league in the country. They also are very strong in many other sports including football.[/quote]

Wrong! I’ve read articles about Sidwell in the LA Times, The NY Times, and cities across the country. I’ve even seen several articles about Sidwell in the Daily Mail! I certain little to no ink has been spent on Dematha, Gonzaga, SJC and PVI in the British press.

The Daily Mail is basically a tabloid rag. That's a pretty weak flex, Sidwell booster.[/quote]

No one said that the Daily Mail is The NY Times. The thread is about fame, and articles are being written about Sidwell in the UK. Point made. Case closed.[/quote]

You might be right.
