Freelance Journalist Accuses WSJ Of Plagiarism

By: Daniel J. Flynn | The American Spectator

On a single page of my new book "The War on Football: Saving America’s Game," I compare the sport’s dwindling number of annual collision deaths with fatalities from mountain climbing, swimming, bicycling, and amusement rides.

In a single paragraph of his new article “In Defense of Football,” Max Boot compares the sport’s dwindling number of annual collision deaths with fatalities from mountain climbing, swimming, bicycling, and amusement rides. The research, structure, and ideas from the article that my book’s publisher had pitched and that Wall Street Journal “Weekend Review” editor Gary Rosen had asked me to write in late spring strangely reappear throughout Max Boot’s “In Defense of Football” piece, which ran in the section of the Journal edited by Rosen.
