Why Don’t They Root, Root for Home Team?

I don’t understand why Mal Florence is covering UCLA football. It seems foolish to me. The man is obviously a loyal USC fan (which is fine), but I don’t understand why he is covering UCLA football and Jerry Crowe is covering USC.
It offends me as a graduate of UCLA, and I think it is derogatory to your newspaper, which is something I enjoy reading. I hope the future brings a re-evaluation of the situation.

Editor’s note: Being a fan of a team is not a prerequisite to covering it. Reporters are there to report , not cheer.
