Sports Letters: Blues of note
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: I would like to reassure your correspondent, Ms Anne Allison, ('A question of sport', Letters, 18 December) that her fears need not extend to the less well publicised varsity sport of American football. The Cambridge team is largely undergraduate, so players must be on an equal academic footing with their fellow students. American footballing ability is not usually considered by admissions tutors, although it has become noticeable that a high percentage of the team comes from undergraduate science and engineering courses.
Yours sincerely,
IAN CALDERBANK
President, Cambridge University American Football Club
