Letter: United we stand
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Football fans - I'm one - are overreacting to the takeover of Manchester United. They say that football will cease to be a sport; that it will be all business. Good job!
At the highest level, the World Cup, shirt-pulling, diving, bad offside decisions, wrongful dismissals, good goals disallowed, "blind" linesmen and daft or soft or Draconian referees characterised the game.
Soon, those who throw in their millions to buy Arsenal and the rest are not going to put up with seeing their investment lose the championship on a bad decision or get relegated on an even worse one.
They have the money and the technology to make sure that the game is played in a sportsmanlike manner - and tell the FA to stop abusing their feudal powers.
