Letter to the Editor: Former Argus editor responds to RAMble poll controversy

First things first, Ram fam­ily, we have to start using the vocabulary that we all should have when we reach college. There is absolutely no reason to use foul language in any letter to anybody, especially one to a professor.

Now with that out of the way, the RAMble poll ques­tion shouldn’t have sparked so much controversy. I find it disturbing that how when someone says they are uncomfortable around homo­sexuals, they are viewed as a “bad guy” for having an opinion

It’s natural for anyone involved in an uncomfort­able situation to say how they feel. I’m sure when Mike Sam came out to his team at the University of Missouri, he was uncomfortable, but his team made him feel at ease and this led Sam to become the Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Year.

I have played organized team sports. Knowing that someone is gay would make me more comfortable than he or she keeping it a secret.

The response to the RAMble poll question stat­ing that the team deserves to know who they are shower­ing with is justified and valid.

I hope my opinions are met with an open mind.
