Poor Mark Madden. He can’t figure out why sports viewership is down (“Sports consumers dwindling during pandemic,” Nov. 18, TribLIVE). Blames it on the pandemic.

Actually, viewership should be up, but decent Americans were pushed away by lectures from people extolling the character of felons. Poor MM. He’s no Mickey Mantle or Marilyn Monroe.

Not even an iconic candy.

How about “Missed Mark”?
