Addressing the truth, not rumors about players
      We are not sure if J. Sanchez's letter ("Rules apply to everyone," Oct. 9 letters) was about being dissatisfied with some of the rules concerning the football program at LISD and the way the rules are enforced, or if it was a personal attack on a student athlete who made a mistake.
