Dear Sir:

Looks like you guys are trying to protect one promoter and mash down another one. You claim that it is a shame and disgrace for another promoter to promote a Jamaican Jerk Festival. But, hello, the promotion business is a rough business. The title Jamaican Jerk Festival wasn’t copy righted. So it belongs to anyone. It’s tough that another promoter use the same promotion-name that another promoter used before, but that’s no shame and disgrace. Show promotion is a business, and every promoter has to use the best means to pull the crowd to make money in the business.

If a promoter doesn’t want another promoter to use his promotional name, he must make sure to protect it by copyrighting that name. This is America boss. Although things seem unfair, things happen. If a promoter can’t protect himself, a man going to take advantage of his promotion. It’s no shame and disgrace; it’s just business.

Go Trinidad!

Dear Sir:

I hope this letter reaches you before you publish this week. I just watched the Trinidad vs. Sweden soccer match in this year’s World Cup, and Lord, man, the Trini boys played their hearts out. They shock Sweden and the world for true. Sweden did play hard but the Soca Warriors, led by the goalie, blocked every shot.

Although this is the first game, and although this is a draw, I feel Trinidad did a great job. Very few people thought Trinidad could get a point. Trinidad you do the Caribbean proud with this draw. Can imagine if they give England a hard time too? Go Trinidad!
