Lowell Cohn and Nepotism? I don't think so

Lowell Cohn feels sensitive enough to write about nepotism and his son, Grant, who writes a blog for Comcast SportsNet Bay Area.

Apparently, some of Cohn's followers are miffed because LC posts a lot of his son's links directly on the "Cohn Zone" spot.

I don't see a big deal here. Conflict of interest? Uh, this is sports, not Washington politics. I don't get it. Lowell is trying to give his son some extended exposure so he chooses to plug every now and then.

What do you think? Am I missing something here?

    "Lowell is trying to give his son some extended exposure so he chooses to plug every now and then."

    You can probably make a similar justification for any kind of nepotism - "Just trying to help a family member out."

    This may not be nepotism, but I always wonder when the caller Butcher Boy calls Damon on 1050, are the plugs free or does he have some type of side deal for his business?

    I know both Lowell and his son. Both are very nice but its nepotism by definition!
