Anthony Pijerov, you crossed the line, my friend (‘Title IX a phony excuse for end to football,’ Dec. 3, pg. 7). Reading your letter, I expected a well-presented argument focused on facts. Instead, what I found was this comment: ‘In an attempt to look smart, which we all know is hard as a College of Communication student…’ Talk about ‘snide remarks’ and ‘spread[ing] misconception and falsehood.’ Such a statement is both unfounded and unfair.
I began my Boston University career in the College of Arts and Sciences and transferred to COM as a junior. I worked hard to become part of the COM community and am proud to be a member of it. Each and every day I interact with intelligent, enthusiastic students and superb professors.
In learning about communication and persuasion, I know that convincing cases are made using intellect, not insults. No need to be nasty.
