Basketball ‘overkill’

I was reading the article about the poor performance of the basketball team this year, and it dawned upon me. If I’m not mistaken there are other sports teams at this school.

Your overkill coverage of this year’s underachieving team is sickening to those of us athletes who bust our butts everyday for little to no recognition or respect. I don’t get free clothes or a catered meal every day. I make do with the less than adequate support from this school and row my heart out.

I seem to remember the novice team rowing in the Belly of The Carnegie at Princeton University and the disappointing fact that they were not mentioned or even passed over because the basketball team had a practice that week.

It is very disappointing to see only two articles about something other than basketball in a two-and-a-half-page sports section. Focus on sports beside basketball and give the hoops teams some breathing room. Maybe with a little less scrutiny the basketball players will relax and perform to the best of their abilities.
