Subject: NHL LOCKOUT: SPONSOR A PLAYER
Since September 11, 2001, Americans and Canadians have come
together as never before in our generation. We have banded together
to overcome tremendous adversity. We have weathered direct attacks
on our own soil,wars overseas, corporate/government scandal, layoffs, unemployment, stock
price plunges, droughts, fires, mad cow, SARS, high gasoline prices, and
a myriad of economic and physical disasters both great and small. But now, we
must come together once again to overcome our greatest challenge yet.
Hundreds of Professional Hockey players in our very own nation are
going to be locked out, living at well below the seven-figure salary level.
And as if that weren't bad enough they could be deprived of their life
giving pay for several months, possibly longer, as a result of the upcoming
lockout situation. But you can help!
For only $20,835 a month, about $694.50 a day (that's less than the
cost of a large screen projection TV) you can help an NHL player remain
economically viable during his time of need. This contribution by no means solves
the problem as it barely covers the annual minimum salary, but it's
a start,and every little bit will help! Although $700 may not seem like a lot
of money to you, to a hockey player it could mean the difference between spending
the lockout golfing in Florida or on a Mediterranean cruise. For you, seven hundred dollars is nothing
more than a month's rent, half a mortgage payment, or a month of medical
insurance, but to a hockey player, $700 will partially replace his daily salary.
Your commitment of less than $700 a day will enable a player to buy
that home entertainment center, trade in the year-old Lexus for a new Ferrari, or
enjoy a weekend in Rio.
HOW WILL I KNOW I'M HELPING? Each month, you will receive a complete financial
report on the player you sponsor. Detailed information about his stocks, bonds, 401(k),
real estate, and other investment holdings will be mailed to your home. Plus,
upon signing up for this program, you will receive an unsigned photo of the player
lounging during the lockout on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean (for a signed photo,
please include an additional $150). Put the photo on your refrigerator to remind you
of other peoples' suffering.
HOW WILL HE KNOW I'M HELPING?
Your NHL player will be told that he has a SPECIAL FRIEND who just wants to
help in a time of need. Although the player won't know your name, he
will be able to make collect calls to your home via a special operator in
case additional funds are needed for unforeseen expenses.
YES, I WANT TO HELP!
I would like to sponsor a locked out NHL player. My preference is
(check below):
[ ] Forward [ ] Defenseman [ ] Goaltender [ ] Entire team (Please
call our 900 number to ask for the cost of a specific team - $10 per minute)
[ ] Jaromir Jagr (Higher cost: $32,000 per day)
Please charge the account listed below $694.50 per day for the duration of
the lockout. Please send me a picture of the player I have sponsored, along
with an Jaromir Jagr 2001 Income Statement and my very own Bob Goodenow (Executive
Director of the NHLPA player's Union) pin to wear proudly on my hat (include $80 for hat).

Good one, SilverTip, I'm a big fan of the game - been playing it since
I was 3 or 4. But when it comes down to professional sports I do not respect what these guys are doing. :ORC Let the lockout begin, these guys will play in the european league (make alot less $$)
or for most (not all) of them that are unqualified to do anything else - maybe a job flipping burgers will bring them more $$!
For now I'll have to watch college, junior A or the AHL - NO BIG DEAL
These players will all come back if the teams do nothing
to raise these already out of controll salaries :shock: The last thing we all want is to have to pay to watch our favorite sporting
events on TV. And if this trend keeps going Canada is going to loose more NHL teams along with some smaller American city teams - which is not a good thing
