Bad Sportsmanship
Delighting in others' pain: I was at Woodstock, in the mud, the rain, and the free-flowing alternative bathrooms. Levi's Stadium is nowhere near as bad. But, as for karma, "schadenfreude" is most apt ["Scha-den-freude! Scha-den-freude!" Joe Eskenazi, news, 8/27].
The 49ers, since the rise of the House of York [Jed York, CEO of the 49ers], have been detached, corporate, and looking to upgrade the fans — more than upgrade the team. How many years did we suffer through multiple coaches, offenses, defenses, and quarterbacks?
Now, it's the Silicon Valley 49ers — trying to outdo the Dallas Cowboys' billion dollar stadium.
The torch has been passed — and it's silicon-plated.

Good topic, wrong person weighing in: As an aesthetician, it might be nice to have someone who actually does the service writing an article about it ["The Bald Truth," Siouxsie Q, the Whore Next Door, 8/27]. I understand the appeal of someone like Siouxsie Q from a sex worker's perspective but this was just kind of a blah article.

Serial airport security breacher points out security flaws: At least she's making U.S. airports more secure by blatantly pointing out some security flaws and opportunities ["Marilyn Hartman: Serial Stowaway Busted at Phoenix Airport," Erin Sherbert, the Snitch, 8/26]. Usually government organizations have to pay for expensive audits and consultants to get this kind of information.

Going on vacation and leaving common sense at home: I live at this intersection and I cannot you tell how many people set up their tripods and expensive cameras in the street at 11 p.m. and later ["Tourists Admiring Lombard Street Robbed at Gunpoint," Erin Sherbert, the Snitch, 8/26]. I'm shocked this type of crime doesn't happen more often.

One reader wants the fancy fast food to stay out of the Tenderloin: Everybody will be displaced ["Daniel Patterson and Roy Choi to Open Fast Food Restaurant in the Tenderloin," Anna Roth, SFoodie, 8/25]. Rent will go up to $3,000 and techies will pay reservations for this "high-end" restaurant.

Another reader welcomes the fancy fast food to the Tenderloin: Yea! This is so needed! People down on their luck often don't have money/resources or ability to get/prepare healthy food.
