I thought your newspaper was supposed to reflect the community and youth sports is an important part of our community. Now time for my opinion: I think the quality of the sports section has deteriorated since this sports editor has come on board.

I learned a long time ago that when a written letter crossed my desk, the first thing to do is to look to see if it is signed. If it was unsigned it went straight to the trash. Because the web is more open and anonymous comments are more the norm, I will leave your comment. But it's not worth the pixels it takes to display.

I'd say the mark of immaturity is a colleague talking trash about you on the internet. As someone once wrote, "a mature person knows when to keep their trap shut." Too bad that person can't follow his own advice. UNPROFESSIONAL. Huh… I’d say the mark of immaturity is a colleague talking trash about you on the internet.
