San Jose Mercury News criticizes Carlene LeFevre
The San Jose Mercury News did not think very highly of Carlene LeFevre’s appearance at the US Open of Competitive Eating:
Morning Buzz thought the network [ESPN] reached a new low when it showed the grandma in the spaghetti-eating competition of the World Series of Competitive Eating.
I would place all the shouting sportswriters, reality dross like Dream Job and poker (can the World Series of Slot Machines be far behind?) on ESPN way below a “grandma” who has reached the top 10 of a physically demanding field of competition.

Where does the San Jose Mercury get off! Who wrote that garbage? The writer must be a total idiot to say derragatory things about such a great competitor. I’ll bet she has accomplished a lot more in her life that he has.

Thanks, Sara for your comments. I don’t know what reason anyone would have to criticize someone who is competing at such a high level in a very grueling activity. Carlene has proven to be a very good competitor and hasn’t done anything to deserve being slammed for it just because of her age. It’s obvious that the writer has issues of his (her) own which should be addressed before criticizing others.
