Centre Daily Times -- Opinion -- Your Letters
Why don't the people protesting against Penn State Lady Lions basketball coach Rene Portland take an in-depth look into this great woman's background?
She should be highly recommended for the Nobel Peace Prize rather than be the focus of a wrongful protest.
I know of many of her acts of kindness and love for God and country. She has gone far above and beyond the call of duty to make this a better world, and not just be an outstanding coach at Penn State.
Robert M. Dively

| Perhaps Mr. Dively should alert the Pope that Rene's ready to be canonized. Securing world peace and finding a cure for cancer while also finding time to coach, what can't this woman do???

Not only are the letters and opinions printed in today's Penn State college newspaper today running 100:1 in favor of Ms Portland, but, like the gentleman from Fort Matilda who thought she should be given the Nobel Peace Prize, and Brianne O'Rourke's mother who called her a 'role model', one of the alumni who writes in emplores Rene to 'keep up the good work'.

It is about time for these “closet” people to quit hiding. If any of the accusations are true, and I doubt they are, it is still Portland's job to protect the other players from them. |

| The only thing I give Rene Portland credit for is making Kelly Mazzante look like a better basketball player than she actually is. Not saying she's a bad player, but she wasn't as good as the press was letting on. I mean Jessica Brungo even got drafted ahead of Mazzante. I do think that Mazzante might do better now that she is under a new coach.

The cry from the masses goes out, "Death before Cannonization!"

"Robert M. Dively
Port Matilda"
His name, the name of his hometown and his swishy writing style lead me to suspect that he is a homosexual. I'm going to contact Rene Portland right away and have him removed from the Centre Daily Times letters page. Perhaps he can transfer to a letters page which accepts the Port Matilda Divelys and their ilk; it's really none of my concern.

In the world that Mr. Dively and so many other supporters of Rene Portland live in, Discrimination has been cured. Discrimination happened long ago and nobody does it any more. People who claim to have been discriminated against are malcontents and agitators. And if anybody is being discriminated against these days, it is because they are perverts and an abomination in the eyes of God and not worthy of our understanding or the protection of our laws. In the world that Mr. Dively lives in. Him and the Republican Party.

Not sure who these "supporters" are, but I'd like to make this observation:
Often those who claim that there is no longer discrimination are those who are privileged to start with and would never be the object of discrimination. So essentially they don't know what they're talking about.
Also, not sure what Portland's alleged "love for God" has to do with anything. Or perhaps Mr. Drively is insinuating that God really does care who wins basketball games and thus has bestowed on Portland some wins here and there in reward for her devotion.
It's all just very disturbing!
