Your Aug. 12 article on Allegiant Stadium indicates two UNLV football games scheduled for Saturdays will be moved to weekdays. I am a season-ticket holder and parent of a middle-schooler. This is not good.

The 2021 home schedule now has only three Saturday games. The San Jose State game is at 8 p.m. on Thursday, a school night. Traditionally, Fridays are for high school football, Saturdays are for college and Sundays are for the NFL. I paid for six home games and expected most — if not all — to be played on Saturdays when I can take my child. Now that is not going to happen.

I wonder if the UNLV athletic director had any say in these decisions? Oh wait, the AD bailed for greener pastures in Mizzou, which is head-shaking considering the body of work over the previous four years.

All this mismanagement has resulted in the national debt rising at a very alarming rate.

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

LETTER: No need for an SOS on Social Security
Bill Minarik Las Vegas

The functional reality is that members of Congress need to keep Social Security alive or they will be voted out of office.
