My letter to Spart Herald Journal today

Bob Dalton, Sports Editor
First, I am a Clemson graduate and IPTAY member. I congratulate you on your excellent coverage of area high school athletics.
I am writing this note due to what I perceive as unreasonable biased coverage of Gamecock athletics over Clemson. Both are flagship universities in this state and deserve equal coverage.
I traveled in New England this week and while I was away my wife saved the paper for me. The following stories had appeared on the front pages of the Sports section:
Tuesday: Tanner and USC Sports
Wednesday: USC Baseball
Thursday: USC football recruit
Friday: USC football
Saturday: Conner Shaw
During this period, not one story about Clemson. I would like to understand what drives what appears to be obvious bias in your coverage when the community school loyalty is certainly probably evenly split.
I would appreciate a reply from the SHJ concerning this.
Thank you and kind regards
ENOUGH is ENOUGH!

Well said. SHJ recently hired another writer. Apparently his only responsibility is to write about usc sports. I've been considering dropping my subscription to the shj.

It's that communist conspiracy, rampant all over the civilized world, whose aim is to ignore the greatness of all things Clemson. My guess would be that Vladimer Putin is a closet coot fan.

knowing that your worthless opinion is the only valid one, that the right to free speech carries substance only if it reflects your philosophical bent right down the line!! And that Vladimir Putin reference really shows how intelligent you truly are.........if only Putin had been a communist hand puppet while president and the Soviet Empire still in existence, it would make your metaphoric comment a real knee-slapper!!! "ignore the greatness of all things Clemson"---lolol!!! Where do you savants come up with these hilarious phrases ?!?!

tigrjm, Putin is considered a "throwback", by a lot of Russians, based on his ideas on centralization of powers, censure of the press, and increased military budgets. Hence the "communist" reference, because many Russian people consider his goals and policies as such. Since he was a high-ranking officer in the KGB for 10-20 years, it's really not surprising. However, he has gotten the flat tax (13%)as promised, and he forbids schools from teaching that homosexuality is "normal", because he understands the intended consequences on their society. I hope this helps your understanding of my satirical post.
