TO THE EDITOR:
The article regarding the UNC soccer team’s ACC loss (“Klingenberg triumphs and falls,” Nov. 10) was completely insensitive and distasteful regarding Meghan Klingenberg.
Writing two articles about the loss, one just focusing on the missed PK by Meghan, was completely heartless. Student-athletes work up to 50 hour weeks and to highlight one mistake out of a hundred successes undermines the hard work that they put in to represent the University of North Carolina.
Next time you write a sports article, think if you would want your picture and a title calling you a failure blown up on a page of the DTH.
Meghan Klingenberg is a many time All-American, All-ACC, All-ACC academic honor roll, has made the Dean’s List, 2-time national champion, a world champion, ACC Player of the Week, member of the U-23 National Team, and the list goes on.
Before you decide to highlight one mistake of such a talented and decorated soccer player, take into consideration her enormous contributions to the success of UNC soccer and the prestige of this university.
