I am commenting on The Rant in the Star’s Oct. 5 issue. I was very disappointed at the product you put out for publication. I play on the Northern Illinois Hockey team and was very disheartened to read the negative remarks about the Chicago Blackhawks and hockey in general. Opinions can be shared, but in a section where you are providing the reader with a simple catch-up of the sports in Chicago, a feature like this is ridiculous. “…Oh, forget it, who cares, it’s hockey.” I care and will find it very difficult to pick up a Northern Star on my way to class tomorrow or in weeks to come. At least the Daily Herald and the Chicago Tribune don’t put down a mainstream sport.
