Article on Kiwanuka was not researched at all!

SIR — The article on Matthias Kiwanuka was very well written although filled with inaccuracies. The most outstanding was the claim that Mathias will be the first ugandan-american to play in the NFL.

I know, without much research, that that claim is false. Off the cuff, I can recall at least two ugandan-americans who graced the NFL.
In fact, unless any serious mishap befell them, there is a good chance they are both active in the league today. Wasswa and Kato
Serwanga, twin brothers, played for the Minesota vikings and the NY
Giants (among other teams).
If I remember right, they were or are both corner backs.
Geographical separation and other logistical problems mean I have been unable to keep up with the progress of their careers.
The writer obviously didn’t bother to research her article and that is insulting to those who have come before Mathias and very negligent to the point of incompetence.
