Default Can You Honestly Say You Brought Somebody...

to the game or back to the game?

Promoting the game goes beyond just selling figures, boards, stadiums,or accessories. Everybody don't have that skill/talent/resource to fall back on but one thing that most have is the ability to promote the game through their "gift of gab".

As I look on the MF landscape, I wonder, how many people have you brought to the game? How many have you recruited? Who can you point to and say "Yes, he is one of the ones I brought into this league?" Are there any young people in the game? Do we understand that this game could possibly die with our generation? Or you really don't care?

I've watched how leagues have come and gone because the interest was not about growth but more about "Can I beat you?" How are you promoting the game and making a difference? Just a thought.

It's true--this game could really die with our generation. The key is to reach as many young people as possible. There are many ways to do this, but sometimes we, as a community tend to feel as if we are the only ones interested in playing this game. There are so many people out there, young, and old, that would gravitate towards EF, if only exposed to it for a short time.

I gotta thank AJ { Aaron Johnson } I found him on the Miggle chat site and he accepted me in to his league like a long lost brother .
For that I am forever grateful.
THANKS, JUICE!

For me, Johnny Thomas, Joe Rivera, Paul Gardner, Poppa Bear and the CNYFL guys got me back.

Coach Rip, ABaxter and Pat Morris made me stay.

6 years later, i can add all of you to this list now.
