TO THE EDITOR:

Ms. Pindic has apparently received no instruction in a sense of humor.

I grew up instructed by my father to just root for one’s own team and never to denigrate or boo the other, etc. These tenets of sportsmanship certainly aren’t adhered to at Duke, and sadly are not adhered to anywhere these days, even at UNC.

But in my judgment as a writer of stand-up comedy, one of the funniest and best-written columns I have read lately appeared yesterday in the DTH by Mr. Tucker, about “hating” Duke. It was not hateful, it was just short of brilliant.

Are you serious, Ms. Pindic? Oh, yeah, you must be, because you apparently have no sense of humor whatsoever. I don’t hate you. I just feel sorry for you.
