To the editor:

Thank you, Bill Simons, for your letter of support for the Kansas University football team and coaches (Public Forum, Dec. 3). It has been painful reading the sports page, especially Tom Keegan’s writing the last several months. We don’t need this constant verbal bullying. It is neither entertaining nor enlightening. It is hateful.

The Journal-World is doing a creditable job of transforming itself into the kind of small-circulation newspaper that Warren Buffet is adding to his portfolio, focusing on quality coverage of local-interest stories and leaving the national and international news to larger news outlets. The sports section is unfortunately the black eye! Thank you, KU football, for failing to respond to this diatribe. We’re proud of your efforts but embarrassed by the J-W coverage.
