Just sent to La Velle E. Neal III at the >Star Tribune< >>>>> Examine your hypocrisy--- and investigate the abuse of African American athletes at Minneapolis Public Schools North High School---

March 22, 2022

La Velle---

I noted that for awhile after a few days away you focused on the acceptably nonviolent sports of baseball and basketball but today wrote an article on the Wild.  Hockey as played in the NHL should be banned, along with football and boxing.  This amplifies your hypocrisy in your otherwise valid stance as to the far, far away Olympics/ China question.

And don't forget to investigate the abuse of African American athletes at North High School---   and the number of those young people of magnificent potential who eventually go forth to mean streets leading to death or incarceration---

With best regards---
