Lady Tar Heels Are 'Ingrates' for Asking For Fan Support

Screw the women's basketball team! Yep, that's right: SCREW 'EM! That's just the reaction they earn to their Letter To The Editor. The ingrates whine that they do not draw enough students' time from far more important activities. Screw 'em!

First of all, they're fortunate to get an average 2,000 spectators (obviously inflated based upon the empty bleachers in their in-action photos) for home games. Most UNC student athletes (male and female) would feel absolutely blessed to play before an actual 2,000 average!

Second of all, they're playing women's basketball. Don't they feel fortunate to be playing full-court ball at all? Nope, they're ingrates.

Hey ingrates, jealous of the crowd that comes to watch the higher level of collegiate men's basketball? Well, schedule some men's teams and beat them.

You just cannot compete with their level of play nor crowd draw. You're not equally interesting nor entertaining, ingrates. Y'all have evidently been sniffing too much of the still-fresh ink from y'all's leftover season tickets.

Third of all, maybe if the ingrates spent more attention to the Dook women players than the Dook women's fans, they shoulda/coulda/woulda avoided losing. Hey ingrates, the Dook women players really outdid you at the tournament.
