This will probably never see the print press let alone the eyes of your readers; however I must state my opinion nonetheless. I have a question for Jason MacDonald, Sports Editor of The Journal. If I were to load a gun, point it at someone and before pulling the trigger say “This is in no way supposed to hurt you,” and then pull the trigger, would the damage still be the same? This is what was done in The Journal in regards to the article bashing Saint Mary’s Dance Team. The first few lines lead the reader to believe that the article would remain polite and not be an attempt to be a public proclamation of one's poor opinion of the Dance Team. The Journal should be promoting school spirit not tearing apart those who attempt to do so. The dance team may have been out of line, but writing an entire article rubbing it in their faces in front of an entire student body was not appropriate. To say the least, “responsible journalism” should not entail bashing a Saint Mary’s team inside the pages of a Saint Mary’s news paper.
