To the Saint Francis DeSales Volleyball Program,
I am one lucky girl, and being able to attend DeSales is one of the luckiest things I've ever been able to do. My journey at DeSales started way back when I was a little baby. One of my uncles graduated and played football at DeSales. I would sit in those bleachers on Friday nights in the rain, snow, and freezing cold and watch proud parents, relatives, and students fill the bleachers and field in SFD gear. Little did I know, I'm doing the same exact thing now, just twelve years older.
My very first time watching DeSales play volleyball, was in the 2014-2015 Regional finals game against Dublin Coffman. I was in eighth grade and had never seen volleyball at that level. It was beautiful seeing so many talented high school girls on one...

Dear Mr. Quenneville,
Back in November, actually November 5th to be exact, it was a Thursday night and I was out on a boys night out, including a steak dinner, beer and hockey.
While eating dinner we witnessed Dale Weise score his 8th goal of the season after only 15 games. Albeit the Canadiens were on fire with a record of 12-2-1 and the team was firing on all cylinders.
It was right there and then my friend JJ Maislin said "i'll bet you a steak dinner he doesn't hit 18 goals by the end of regular season?"
Based on simple mathematics, all Weise had to do was score 10 more in the next 67 more games that's 1 goal every six games seeing he was already averaging one goal every two games this was a simple easy bet.
Well needless to say, things went south for the Montreal...

To my amazing teammates,
To the people who know me at my best, my worse and everything in between. To the people that are always there for support no matter what the situation is.
It never resists to surprise me how amazing it is that a group of people can change your whole life, no matter how big or small that it is. How much impact that you can have on a single person from the way that they live, to the new experiences that they have and most importantly the attitudes that they have towards different situations. You all are the ones that have changed my life and have never left me no matter the mistakes that I have made.
I could write so much about you all, how you have made an impact on me and those that have surrounded you. From the way that you care about me and the...

Dear Celtic FC Board
Season ticket ####
Name Vlad ####
It is very much with sadness I write to inform you that I will not be renewing my season ticket unless the Club is willing to change current management.
I have had this current season ticket since at least 2007 and previous to that I held a season ticket for 4 years.
I have absolutely no trust in the current management in terms of:
1. The manager's stubbornness to change a boring style of play. He seems to be a slave to the system and refuses to accept that his system is not entertaining and not working.
2. His European record, speaks for itself. Does The Celtic board see improvement that will lead to Champions League qualification or decent run in Europa? If not, why are we delaying the change in management...

Mr. Chancellor,
You'll probably never read this but I feel as though it needs to be said. First and foremost, I'm a diehard Seahawks fan and have been for as long as I can remember. And you have always been one of my favorite players. I recently saw you had taken to Twitter portraying an appalling story about having the cops called on you. I have read different articles and all of them seem to agree with you, these two women who called the cops are racist. However, I find myself trying to see the situation from the perspective of the women. If I had been in the same position, what would I have done? I think it's safe to say, I would have called the police and it would have had nothing to do with the color of your skin. If anyone, male or female, is trying to get into a building that is...

Dear Coach,
Why do I have to wear a skirt when I play? Does it help you better point me out when seeing a guy lacrosse player? Does the fact that I am not wearing a helmet, or that I have my hair in a pony-tail not show a distinction?
I am going to bring up a feminist point, so beware; why do the girls need to wear a skirt? Girls soccer players don't wear skirts, so why should we? I cannot tell you how many times I have been made fun of for wearing a skirt while I'm running on a field. It's bad enough girls cannot check each other while boys can. The least you can do is let the girls wear shorts, I'm not asking that much. The skirts themselves are so short, they offer nothing to the uniform, except to hypersexualize us. We are participating in a sport, we deserve to wear what we want,...

Dear Pro Football Hall of Fame members,
I am contacting you to point out the injustice of Tom Flores not being a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He has contributed so much to the game that cannot and should not be overlooked. The diversity that the NFL desperately strives to achieve, started with this man many decades ago. His accomplishments at every level of the game are unrivaled. And yet, he remains on the outside looking in. Flores was the first Hispanic starting quarterback in the NFL. The first Hispanic head coach to win a Super Bowl. Not once, but twice. He was also the first Head Coach to win a Super Bowl as a Wild Card team. And the first Hispanic to serve as Club President and General Manager. That's not only diversity, that's SUCCESSFUL diversity! In addition,...

Much has been made of Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton’s less than inspiring tantrums at the Super Bowl — both on the field, and after the game when he stormed out of the press conference.
But last year’s losing QB, Seattle’s Russell Wilson has shown nothing but good sportsmanship and class since he came into the NFL. And with Peyton Manning expected to retire after earning his second ring to top off a legendary career, Wilson once again showed his character by writing a heartfelt open “letter” to the future Hall of Famer, with whom he shares a deep Christian faith.
Wilson titled the letter, “If This Is It…”
From all the wins, to the few tough losses. From the 71,000 yards, to all the touchdowns, to the few interceptions.
From all the meetings, to all the hard...

It is with deep sadness that I need to inform you that I am stepping down from my role of volunteer Director of Darlington 1883 Ltd, with immediate effect. Some of you will know that I suffered a mini-stroke recently, this event was a wake-up call for me and was life changing and since that time I have drastically changed my lifestyle. Removing unnecessary stress by retiring from any employment was one of the changes I have made (alongside healthier eating, which maybe was noticeable to some!)
Volunteering for DFC has, particularly over recent months, become much more demanding, both in time and pressure, than myself and my family ever envisaged or imagined it would be. It is all encompassing and has no limits on the demands on me. Protecting (and I must re-iterate and emphasise that...
