SPORTS LETTER : Division bell sounds
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.From F. J. Arnold
Sir: Martin Johnson is right in saying the problem with English cricket lies with the system rather than the personnel [13 June].
One only has to look at Rugby Union. Those in charge may or may not be old farts, but they must be doing something right. The solution is to divide the first class game into two leagues, with promotion and relegation. This would concentrate the best players and every game would be meaningful. I would rather watch my county striving for promotion in the second division than playing a middle-of-the-table game with nothing much at stake.
Yours faithfully,
