To the editor,
It seems ironic that Cripe Olson in his Dec. 20 sports column, “Shots From The Hip,” about the Twelve Days of Christmas criticizes (gripes about) a wide variety of sports’ rules and activities. In “day” 4 Cripe says that gripers should be banished to a “Griping/Complaining Box” and forced to wear velcro green arm bands. Yet his own weekly column is usually filled with a myriad of complaints about most sports! Too many gripes fill the column weekly. Enjoy your green arm band Cripe. It will look good on you during the remaining sports’ season.
This letter, coming from an 84-year-old sports fan who even wears his baseball cap backwards on occasion! (See several other columns about this topic.) Yes, you guessed it. It’s a head shaker.
