LETTER : Ghost Ryder in the Sky
SPORTS LETTERS
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From K W Exelby
Sir: I was extremely disappointed at not being able to follow the progress of our Ryder Cup team battle for victory in the United States. I feel that the decision to sell the broadcast rights to a satellite channel was a mean and selfish act.
It displays a very egotistic attitude on behalf of the golfing authorities, who seem to have completely ignored the efforts of the BBC over the years in striving to promote this event and given it such excellent coverage.
If my support can so easily be dispensed with when the team is playing away, maybe I might not be so keen to find the time to support them at home.
Yours,
K W EXELBY
