My hubby and I attended the recent home game of the local CFL team. We were shocked to witness the awful display of stupidity from a handful or two 'rider' fans sitting behind the opposing teams bench. If your not aware what happened, I don't want to really bring it up again, but here is a link to what happened: http://www.canada.com/reginaleaderpost/news/sports/roughriders/story.html?id=0ba81ee2-b4da-4d11-b06c-51a4be9ae73e
Later the next day I was reading that article and the comments from the some of the players on the opposing team and them being embarrassed to be from this city. I got a little fired up, and even wrote a letter to the editor who wrote the article. He promptly replied and told me it was well said, and asked if I wanted to be published....I didn't know what to think, so, I thought about it for a bit! And replied, hmmm, sure!! Well, after a few emails back and forth, to verify some things, here is my comment in regards to the incident published in today's Leader Post, September 23rd, 2008 http://www.canada.com/reginaleaderpost/news/letters/story.html?id=16cea8fc-1aff-4ac9-9559-133ce604e312&p=5
Kind of fun for me, I've never done anything like this before! We are going to the next home game, hopefully there won't be an incident like that again!

Good for you for writing a letter. You're published now!
your words were well written...
Yes - well written! I didn't watched the televised game nor do I get the paper (and hubby doesn't tell me much!) so I had no idea this even happened! Thanks for enlightening me! Some people....
