Feels sports headline was misleading
I was, as I am want to do, reading the Sunday Starkville Dispatch when I came upon the article, “MSU tells Joe Moorhead to Pound Sand and Kick Rocks”. While I understand the futile attempt at humor, I found the title offensive and misleading. It implies a lot of vitriolic animosity between MSU and (now former) Coach Moorhead. This is not the truth. In fact, let’s call it what it is, an out-and-out lie!
I concede that the powers-that-be at MSU concluded that it was in the best interest of the University and the football program to part ways and seek new direction. That is their right, but from all accounts, it was a mutual parting.
I was, am, and will continue to be a MSU fan for life. Whereas my continued readership of the Dispatch, will require careful consideration.
If this is the best we can expect, we can expect from the Sports Editor, perhaps the Dispatch would be best served to have Hodge take his headline’s advice.
