LETTER- Sports Doctor's a quack

Juanita Giles, the Sports "Doctor," should be charged with malpractice after her god awful take on the US Men's National Team in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. [May 6: "Exercise in futility: US World Cup chances hopeless"]

Her article is full of inaccuracies and irrelevant statements such as, in qualifying, "Mexico kicked our butts." This is simply a lie or she is actually ignorant. The US beat Mexico 2-0 here in the states and lost 2-1 in Mexico City. So by aggregate the US won 3-2.

She also makes a reference to the MLS not being as good as the English Premier League. This is completely irrelevant as only four of our players play in MLS. Seven of our players play in England, six of them being in the Premier League. The rest play for other clubs in Europe and twi in Mexico.

I certainly hope she is accountable for this article and will write an apology.
