My name is Abbie Horan. I am on the women’s golf team. I read Darrin Cline’s article in the Daily and I am extremely disappointed that the article was published. In my opinion, a college that holds so much pride in its “Cyclone Nation” and Hilton Magic should not be publishing articles that give all athletic teams a bad reputation. A good journalist should touch on the counterargument. Cline failed to mention that the football team shopped and wrapped gifts for families who could not afford them during holiday season, or how the entire athletic program gives back to the community.

If Cline had 6:45 a.m. workouts, two or three classes before noon and practice at 1 p.m., I’d like to see what kind of clothes he would be wearing. Coming from personal experience, I would say it’s completely acceptable to be wearing sweatpants.

I hope that positive Daily articles about the athletes and awesome fans keep coming, but articles like Cline’s put a damper on Cyclone Nation.
