Sober Bowler Suspended
Dallas, Texas - The winner of last week's Sun Bowl Open has been disqualified as a result of the Professional Bowling Association's new drug policy. "When we implemented the program we never expected to catch anyone violating the policy," said Bob Stephens, spokesman for the PBA. Al Wilson, winner of the tour's last four tournaments, has been suspended indefinitely. His fellow competitors have been suspecting him for some time now. "All he ever drinks is water," said one of his rivals. "I had to bowl 4 rounds to get to the finals; at 3 beers a go, that's a 12 pack. It's not fair bowling against him like that." Stephens chimed in, "This is bowling, we can't have people competing sober." It looks like the suspension had the anticipated impact. Wilson's final statement at the press conference was, "If they let me back on tour, I promise you'll never see me sober again."

This is considered a long story. It's about 130 words (longer stories should range from 130-150 words). The bowler in the story, "Al Wilson" would be the recipient of this content. The city, "Dallas", and state, "Texas", are where Al Wilson lives, and that's a second part of the personalization. "Bob Stephens" would probably have been the sender of the story. Finally, this story has a distinct theme to it: sports. That's a third component of the personalization - Al Wilson is clearly interested in sports. Again, any topic is acceptable, since it will most likely fit into one of our broader categories.
