Mail Call Articles

Facebook profile represents office

In response to Daniel Abasolo's June 28 column "Fired for Facebook":

Other sports guilty of steroid abuse

In response to Kevin Alexander's June 26 column "Juice junkies":
I completely agree with the column on steroid and supplement use in professional sports. While the use of these drugs by professional athletes is horrible for America, children and the sports themselves, baseball is not the lone culprit.

Democrats not genuinely supportive

In response to a June 27 mail call:
Mr. Blakely indicts himself as not supporting the troops in his complaint against Mr. Warren's accurate and reasoned column. By suggesting that enlistment is the only means of legitimate support in the war against militant Muslims, Mr. Blakely condemns himself unless he has kept his military service a secret from Battalion readers.

You put the profile on the Internet

In response to Daniel Abasolo's June 28 column "Fired for Facebook":
There are two main factors that employers consider when hiring employees: the qualifications of the potential employee and the character of the employee.
