Are football games front page news?
Letter to the Editor
Thursday, September 18, 2008

For the third Sunday in a row the University of Georgia football team has been on the front page for no good reason.

If Georgia Southern had beaten UGA, then that would be news, but still better placed in the sports section. With over two dozen people killed in a train wreck, that would have been front page material, but it was tucked into the middle of section A.

I hope none of the families that lost a loved one in that train wreck ever find out how unimportant they are compared with the UGA football team. Maybe next Sunday some real news might make the front page. This is an election year, in case you run out of tragedies such as a hurricane hitting the coast.
