TNA v. WWE

There's an article - link below - that argues why TNA competing with WWE is a good thing. Here are the reasons: 

1. It Provides a Level of Competition
2. It Offers National Exposure for Non-WWE Wrestlers
3. It's Somewhere for Former WWE Superstars to Work
4. It Gives Fans an Alternative Product
5. It Helps the Entire Wrestling Industry

I just reread an article from a few years back about parallel construction (link below). The sentence in the article that resonates within me is this simple sentence:

If you can make a grocery list, you can master parallelism.

So, yes, I can make a grocery list and, over time, I will aspire to master applying this concept. The above list is not constructed in a parallel structure. First of all, I don't like the last item as a reason. After reading these sentences in the fifth slide:
|
"Variety is especially important in an industry where it feels like everything has been done before. Each promotion provides its own atmosphere, so there is something for every kind of fan"
|
I would have titled the slide "Provides variety in the industry." A first crack at revising the list could look like this:

1. Provides a Level of Competition
2. Offers National Exposure for Non-WWE Wrestlers
3. Provides Employment for Former WWE Superstars
4. Provides Fans with an Alternative Product
5. Helps the Entire Wrestling Industry

And, with more time, yes, I would identify verbs that are stronger than "provides" and "offers" but for a brief blog post, it'll do pig, it'll do.
