look, i love this game and i have followed arena/indoor ball for about 10 years and have been affiliated both as a fan and working as player personel director and public relations director....some of my comments about players play may have been harsh....i hope i did'nt offend anyone personally. i still won't sugar coat my comments and not express my feelings about game play, but due to the situations surrounding this team, the players, cheerleaders, wendi carabello, and everyone involved has been doing the best they could with what they have.
last year in charleston, we had two weeks to build a team...a monstrous struggle and headache.....those players played their asses off and won the last game to earn the right to go to the playoffs....we were soo happpy....it was like we won the superbowl....1 hour after the game they folded telling the players they were not gonna spend the money to go to the playoffs they were gonna save for this year......8 months later, the owners are missing and all the money gone....we were shafted. i know how i felt. i see things going south and i get soooo frustrated that i say things out of that frustration and don't mean to be so harsh....i appologize to any player that i offended...but, regardless of front office issues....the careless mistakes must end.
i support the players, i did in charleston.....ask them....i stood in the parking lot of the north charleston coliseum with tears in my eyes appologizing to these players, because they gave 110% every game to make the playoffs only to be ripped off...they did not deserve that. we did not deserve that.
i hope the stingers players continue to play for the fans....and if i have anything to do with it, i will try my best to see that indoor ball stays there......but we all must remain confident, even thogh thats hard, and stay positive.
