Asian American Dream Candidate

Submitted by Harry Mok on November 1, 2004 - 1:54pm
One of the four finalists in ESPN's Dream Job show is Anish Shroff. The show is a competition to win a contract to be a sportscaster on the network. Online voting will determine the winner. A competitor will be voted off the show on Tuesday. The number of Asian American males working on-air in TV news is woefully low. So vote Tuesday for your favorite presidential candidate, and then go the show's website at 9 p.m. PST to put another Asian American male on the air!

Actually, you vote for who gets kicked off, so don't vote for Anish, vote off the other competitors.

Make sure to vote off everyone but Anish, we need another Asian on the tv screen.
