LET JORDAN TEND TO PRIVATE PROBLEMS

REGARDING the headline on the June 4 Associated Press story entitled "Book calls Jordan a gambling addict":

The liberal press has shot itself in the foot this time. Michael Jordan is the greatest player ever to grace the National Basketball Association. If it wasn't for him, they would have very little to write about.

Does Jordan not give enough news with his physical accomplishments without scraping up things in his private life? Gambling is serious. If he has this problem, it is his own private problem and he should take care of it.
