Reader Remembers McCoy Differently
I want to thank Marc Dellins, UCLA’s sports information director, for urging the brain-dead readers to remember Jelani McCoy as a “productive and talented player who made significant contributions to the men’s program.†[Viewpoint, Feb. 28] I appreciate your unbiased input, Marc, but I, for one, will remember Jelani as a young man who made a mistake and then instead of correcting it blamed the media for coverage of said offense(s).
More than that, he will be remembered as one who not only quit his team, but quit on his teammates.
