Thank you for the story about Necole Tunsil (Demanding More, 2/9). If the paper had more stories like that one, I might read more than the Sports pages.

Gouging wallets

Someone should tell the Bucs that winning the Super Bowl three out of four years is what constitutes a dynasty, not increasing ticket prices with greater frequency. To paraphrase Kevin Bacon's character in Animal House as he grabs his ankles, "Thank you Malcom, may I have another?"

-- Kenneth Talbot, Seminole

It's just business

What's all the fuss over the Glazer's raising ticket prices again? The Glazers are hard-nosed businessmen who are simply doing what any businessperson would do, especially if they knew there was 100 percent certainty they could pull it off. Yearly ticket-price increases will only stop when it no longer becomes fashionable to attend Bucs games.

-- Bill Bravick, New Port Richey

Preying on fans

Let's face it. Professional sports enterprises are businesses. Fans who are unwilling to play their only card, namely not buying a ticket, are the rightful prey of those businesses.

-- Palmer O. Hanson, Jr., Largo
