SPORTS LETTERS: Brito ignored
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.Brito ignored
From Mr Andrew Forbes
Sir: "Ten losers of the World Cup: Max Brito, whose injuries make the World Cup pale into insignificance", Steve Bale wrote [27 June]. It appears not. These words appear in a tiny font size surrounded by an article claiming the World Cup victory has made profound changes to the nation of South Africa. I have read long articles discussing the implications of the New Zealand game upon England's future, and similar reports on the Welsh, Scots and Irish. The Brito story barely ran past his flight home's departure time.
If Steve Bale were right, I would expect an appropriate number of column inches on Brito's progress, his family, the implications on possible rule changes to prevent such injuries, and the reactions of players. None of this has happened. Please can the Independent keep us informed of his progress.
Yours faithfully,
ANDREW FORBES
