TO THE EDITOR:
As the parent of two UNC students and a longtime Tar Heel fan, I was both surprised and disappointed when, at a couple of recent men’s basketball games, as the visiting team was taking the floor, the home crowd began a loud, sustained booing. This struck my wife and me as incredibly bad form, and is the kind of thing that debases the image of our great university.
I submit that in the future we extend a degree of courtesy and respect to our fellow Americans, commensurate with the hard work and sacrifice that goes into participating in varsity athletics, regardless of where and for whom they are expended.
