TO THE EDITOR:
In response to Isaac Hellemn’s letter to the editor, “Owen’s ‘sex PowerPoint’ is childish and reckless” (Oct. 11), I would like to praise Karen Owen and use her as inspiration to save our football team. We can rally around them and support them through dedicated athletic groupies.
Surely every campus has students whose biggest dreams are showing their unwavering loyalty to their teams in the form of constant sexual favors. Her main problem was simply that she was supporting the wrong school; being a groupie at Duke was really the “car that hit the coffee shop” part of the story.
I propose a student organization — possibly to be called “The Carolina Coffee Shop Plowers” — to be filled with “empowered” students ready to make sure the team is always prepared to play at its best.
What says “Thank you for catching that 53-yard pass” better than a night of booze-induced, unadulterated consensual sex? Is it really worth taking a trip to Miami for Spring Break when you have your own booster club back home, ready to give you the best week of your life?
By sleeping with athletes to congratulate them on their performances, good or bad, students at our school will be able to stand up and show the nation that we are not a university of cheaters and bribe-takers.
We are a university that loves its athletics and are willing to do what it takes to keep them happy.
What better way to show your love than to make it?
