Letter to the Editor: He disputes the truth about 2001


Los Angeles Times
February 13, 2010 Saturday

Dear Editor,

Bill Plaschke saying the New Orleans Saints deserved to win the Super Bowl [Feb. 7] is absurd. The only team that deserves to win is the team that actually wins the game. It has nothing to do with natural disasters or man-made tragedies.

God bless the people of New Orleans for all the suffering that Katrina brought, but that's like saying the New York Yankees "deserved" to win the 2001 World Series because of 9/11. The Arizona Diamondbacks deserved it because they won the Series. And now that the Super Bowl is over, the Saints deserved to win.
